[asterisk-users] Problems with pickupgroup/callgroup with Asterisk 1.8.4.2

[Sebastian Arcus]

Replying to my own post:

I have done some more digging, disabling parts of configuration files 
one at a time - since there is nothing useful in the console for this 
problem. Turns out that if I enable the following lines in features.conf:

parkext => 700
parkpos => 701-720
context => parkedcalls

then I can't pick calls up with *8 anymore. Here is everything I have 
enabled in the features.conf, just in case:

[general]
parkext => 700
parkpos => 701-720
context => parkedcalls
pickupexten = *8

[featuremap]
disconnect => *0

Can anybody think of any reason for this? Could it be something I'm 
doing - or should I report it as a bug?
