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.

I'm not actually setting PICKUPMARK anywhere, as I stated, it was found in
the documentation on voip-info which implied that you can use PICKUPMARK as
a special context so by specifying:

Pickup(${EXTEN}:2 at PICKUPMARK);

PICKUPMARK would internally (within app_directed_pickup.c) find an
extension with name ${EXTEN:2} in some context which was currently
ringing.

Maybe the documentation is misleading on voip-info - take a look at the
link, I can only interpret what's printed.

As for chan->_state, I will put an ast_log() call in my version of
app_directed_pickup.c and feed you the result.

Please let me know if you need anything different/more.

Thanks.
