[asterisk-users] REFER and dialplan broken (as documented inchan_sip.c on line 11951)

[vip killa]

Sure, it really manifests itself whenever using AGI for call flow, but this
is how it affects us...
incoming call -> queue -> agent007 -> xfer -> pussygalore
now the AGI/dialplan thinks agent007 is on phone with pussygalore until that
xfered call terminates so if another call comes into queue while pussygalore
is on the phone w/ that xfered call, agent007 will not even be attempted by
queue

I'm sure there could be other scenarios in which this REFER issue could pose
a problem but this is the most consequential scenario which we have to deal
with everyday.
