thank you, I found the problem:

I had this in extensions.conf:

   same => n,GotoIf($[ "${DIALSTATUS}" = "BUSY" ]?6:7)

and then I added one line above that, and forgot to adjust the numbers.
So basically, the rule was going in an cycle.

Is there a better way than to use hardcoded numbers for GotoIf ?
