It's a good idea to track down all warnings and errors even when they seem 
unrelated to the problem at hand.

Keep in mind executing an AGI completely external from Asterisk can be a 
valuable debugging aid. Just create a text file containing all the proper 
responses and feed it to the AGI's STDIN. I do this frequently with the 
AGIs I write in C so I can use GDB to step through my code and figure out 
what's going on.

Doing any I/O on STDIN or STDOUT will violate the AGI protocol.
