Summary:                    Directed Pickup won't grab group calls - no target
channel found
Description: 
If A directly calls C, B can execute Pickup(C) and it works successfully

If, however, A calls a number which calls a group of extensions (eg C, D
and E), B cannot pickup any of the ringing extensions

This was found because my setup involves a call targeting handsets in my
office room at home but I don't want them ringing say in the bedroom across
the hall but I want to be able to pick up the call remotely.

Normal pickup does work though.

With regards to PICKUPMARK, I found it noted here:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Pickup&view_comment_id=14172

I can revert the code (I only commented out the original line) in
can_pickup() and do a debug log, please let me know exactly what output you
want and i'll be happy to assist.

The code change was taken from the URL I posted in my previous comment, if
I use the current HEAD code, with or without a context, the channel will
not pick up.  If I use the modified code, I can pick up a channel that is
ringing so long as I use the context - I can also detect the state
correctly in a macro and provide a useful message if there is no channel to
pickup.
