[Asterisk-Users] Dial application timeout

[Rob Fugina]

For a *long* time now, I've noticed that the timeout passed to the
Dial application doesn't really work as documented.  When I
Dial(Zap/1&Zap/2&Zap/g3,15,tP) the Dial doesn't timeout for 25 to 30
seconds.  I found this problem when I had a 20 or 30 second timeout
specified, and it wasn't actually timing out for 40 - 60 seconds.  I
switched to a 15 second timeout specifically to get a the 20-30 second
timeout I wanted.

I've inserted some debug code in app_dial.c to verify that my timeout
parameter is being parsed out correctly (around line 1500 in the
current app_dial.c), but that's about as far as I can decipher at the
moment.

Is there anyone else out there that can duplicate this problem?

Thanks,
Rob
