[Asterisk-Dev] Problem with hanging up a SIP channel

[imran ahmed]

I have seen in app_dial.c and even in pbx.c that ast_hangup is called
after the channel is done with. app_dial.c calls ast_hangup only on
those channels that are not in the dialplan and those in the dialplan
are hungup by the ast_hangup call in __ast_pbx_run() call in pbx.c
I also see that the channels hangup routine itself is called in
ast_hangup and If what you say is true then this would be turn to a
recursive call.
Please correct me!
Thanks
Imran
