[Asterisk-Users] oddness in AGI - a bug in AGI or my own insanity ?

AGI has been updated so that you can interrupt *most* (notably not exec())
commands by issuing a new AGI command.  It will (generally) stop the
previous command (which will not return anything) and will start a new
one.  The primary application of this is for applications where some event
not related to the user pressing a digit (i.e. speech detection in EAGI)
might be a reason not to continue waiting.
