Like many Asterisk dialplan applications, ReceiveFAX causes the channel 
to be hung up when it completes its work. You may have to take special 
steps to keep your AGI script alive in that situation,,, but someone who 
knows more about AGI would have to chime in. It would also help if you 
indicated what version of Asterisk you are using, since there are quite 
a few and their behavior in this situation could be different.
