Description:At some point between 1.4 and 1.6 a regression was introduced.  If vmu->exit is not defined (we are in a macro?), although '*' was detected, it is not processed at all.

Note that this is exactly what the 1.4 code does...

I did an svn blame on this and strangely enough, this exact problem was fixed in trunk in May but apparently did not get merged to the 1.6.0 branch. I'll correct this. Thanks!

Okay, nevermind what I said. This was merged into the 1.6.0 branch, but it's just been that long since beta 9 was released. Luckily, just today, asterisk-1.6.0-rc4 was released and I have double-checked to be sure that this fix is in there. Since this is fixed, I'm going to close this.

I'm also adding a link to the originally-reported issue since it turns out that this is a duplicate of that issue.
