[asterisk-users] *8 causing large number of channels to go stale(possible bug)

[Alec Davis]

Most *8 pickup issues have been fixed in trunk. May have made it into 1.8.5,
I'm not sure.

https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=18654 and others search mantis for
closed issues and 'pickup'.
Or newer https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa
