[asterisk-users] "pickupsound = beep" kills call pickup in Asterisk 1.8.4.2

[Sebastian Arcus]

I have discovered that if I enable pickupsound = beep in features.conf, 
if I try to do a pickup with *8, the calling channel keeps on ringing, 
while the phone where I pick-up from shows that the call has been 
answered (I don't know where though). Also, it seems to completely 
bugger up my outgoing IAX trunk (I really can't see the connection, as 
I'm doing pick-up for a SIP channel). I can only shut Asterisk down with 
killall asterisk -s9 - nothing else works.

I've tried starting the console with asterisk -rvvvvvv - but there is 
nothing unusual there.

Could someone please confirm this behaviour on their box, before I go 
and submit a bug - in case I am doing something wrong?

As soon as I comment out "pickupsound = beep" - everything works just 
fine and I can do call pickup with *8.
