[asterisk-dev] Why is status of the dynamic agent always 0 (unknown)?

[Asterisk]

Hi guys,

I have just switched from static agents to dynamic ones and have noticed
one thing: in v1.2.10 all dynamic agents have always status 0 (unknown).
It seems as if every time ast_device_state is being called, status
changes to 0 - also status is never initialized in add_to_queue.

Is this a bug, or is this how it's supposed to work? I'm asking this
because certain patches (like http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=5577
for example) don't work as they rely on agent's status.

Any ideas how could I make Asterisk properly handle statuses of dynamic
agents?

Regards,
Alex
