When a call hangs up Asterisk will loog for an 'h' extension.  _. will 
match "h" and so will run again and again.  Don't be lazy, dialplans are 
hard work and you can't just use _. as a pattern and expect it to work. 
  What is the shortest number you might call?  If it's 7 digits than use 
_XXXXXX. as your pattern.  if it's only 2 digits, use _X.

Since "X" means any number that pattern will not match extension "h".
