[asterisk-users] Calling '**1' through Asterisk

[Rob Hillis]

Not a bug at all.  "." as a pattern match means "1 or more digits" - so 
your pattern match means ** followed by a digit between 0 and 9, 
followed by one or more digits.  Removing the "." means that you then 
match **, followed by a digit between 0 and 9.

If you want to match ** followed by a digit between 1 and 9, followed by 
zero or more digits, the use the extension pattern "_**X!".  X matches 
any digit from 0-9, so your pattern match is unnecessary.  ! matches 
zero or more digits.
