[Asterisk-Users] dial-out and variable inheritance problems

Yes, same here. This broke an application focussed on .call files after 
upgrade from 1.0.9 to 1.2.0. :-( It appears that in 1.2.0 variables can 
only be set for the Channel: part but not for the Extension: part. 
I think this is worth a bug report...
