This bug can be reproduced by calling VoiceMail(XXXX).  The caller will hear only a beep before recording starts.

Though this patch is as trivial as a patch can possibly be, I have fax a disclaimer because I will be sending more patches soon.

Closing, as res is now initialized in leave_voicemail().

I do not believe this bug has been fixed.  The file in question has not been altered in the stable branch in any way since the bug was reported.  Nor can I find any evidence that it has been fixed in trunk.

Yes, res is initialized in leave_voicemail(), at the start of the function.  I meant that it is not reinitialized before being reused.  It is first used to test for the existence of various prefiles.  If none is found, res will have a non zero value.  Since no prefile was found, prefile playback, which normally sets res to zero, is skipped.  The non-zero value causes later code to think that prefile playback has _failed_ or the caller has pressed # to skip the introductory messages and so playback of INTRO is skipped too.

I've looked at this many different ways and am confident in the current code it works fine.
