asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Caching DTMF tones for get_data AGI?

I'm using get_data in an AGI script and am having a problem when, after 
a long time in my IVR, when I ask for a 10-digit phone number, the first 
few tries are always invalid -- the number it reads back is very 
strange, almost like the DTMF tones from other answers were being cached 
and then dumped on the call to get_data.

Anyone ever experienced this before?  I have to do some major exploring, 
but nothing comes to mind yet.

Hello,

I'm facing a similar problem, only that in my case, there in no input at 
all.

I use an agi built with Perl and Asterisk::AGI. The $AGI->get_data(...) 
is executed as if the # was pressed immediately.

The strange thing is that this strange behavior happens only if I send a 
RADIUS accounting packet (using Authen::Radius) to a RADIUS server from 
the same agi, just before I call the $AGI->get_data.

If I comment out the line where I send the RADIUS accounting packet, 
then $AGI->get_data works fine...

Has anyone else dealt with such problems?

Best regards,
Vlasis Hatzistavrou.
