Others have commented about this same problem recently, and apparently its
associated with a bug that was introduced in the zap channel. I'm running
the same config with cvs from this morning, and I've not seen the problem
today at all. (My previous update was about a month ago, and it wasn't present
at that time.)

As sort of a temp fix, you can add a parameter to the voicemail.conf to 
limit the voicemail duration before dumping the call.
