Ok - I finally found out what was causing the ZOMBIE channels. Now follow me on this one :)
It appears that if you are using a Cisco 7960 and are on a call and want to transfer the call to another extension - if you press "more" and "Trnsfer" and dial the extension and you hit the Trnsfer button again before the extension answers, a ZOMBIE channel is created. If you use BlindXfer, it does not create the ZOMBIE channel. I have now informed my client that if they want to do a Blind Transfer, to use the BlindXfer softkey instead of the Trnsfer softkey or just use the # key to do a blind transfer. Now, I am running Asterisk CVS-v1-0-11/12/04-15:32:45. I would be interested in knowing if later versions of asterisk exhibited this same behavior. Any feedback would be appreciated.
