[cisco-voip] secondary dial tone problems

I did uncheck all "provide dial tone" on all route patterns starting with 8.
Worked like a charm -> no secondary dial tone. Restarted the entire cluster
then, checked all boxes again and restarted the cluster again. Still,
secondary dial tone was in the wrong place.

Then ran a query:

select dnorpattern, outsidedialtone
from numplan
where dnorpattern like '8%' and outsidedialtone = '0'

As I suspected, no results.

1 day later, I am about to download the newest release (4.1(3)sr6)
and start upgrading but guess what, the secondary dial tone is in the right
place. Very odd.
I am not sure what to think of it.
Cisco folks, is it an isolated incident (besides Paul's and Joel's) or is it
a common occurence? Maybe I should disable the secondary dial tone all
together so users won't be confused as much next time? I am just looking for
some suggestions.

Thank you all for help. You guys are great!
