Thanks Lonnie You are right. I tested the latest version and it gives the same looping.
Very strange indeed. Looking through the asterisk issue tracker, I found some references to this looping, but most of them were older. If 1.8 would in general not work with the GUI I would have expected much more bug entries. Also the 2.1rc1 is said to explicitly support asterisk 1.8. Is it possible that this is a special problem with the astlinux implementation of asterisk?
