[asterisk-users] Re: What's up with the Manager Interface?!?!

[Steve Murphy]

Doug, Everyone:

I'll make you an offer you (hopefully) can't refuse:

I've been fixing manager bugs here and there, and am willing to take on
any manager issues out there, for 1.4, and trunk, especially, so as to
have things nice and solid for 1.4 before it gets out of beta.

So, give me some details. I will file the bug, if you don't. I will
reproduce(if I can), and debug,  and fix 'em. Just tell me (as
explicitly as possible, please!) what the problems are-- especially you,
Doug-- where are those inconsistencies, exactly? Richard-- I'll lab up
1.4 and see if I can get the hiccups you mention.

(examples below)

this is an older manager.c
there have been a lot of mods to the manager interface in the 1.4 tree, 
but there is no way i would put that into a production envir.
