Which is why enabling AGI debugging and posting actual console code can 
speed problem resolution. Sometimes it's just another set of eyes on the 
same output :)

If you're going to be developing a significant bit of AGI code, there is a 
"not immediately obvious" technique of feeding a text file into the STDIN 
of your AGI so you can debug completely external to Asterisk -- even 
within an IDE like emacs+gdb. (Or whatever the PHP equivalence is.)
