Summary:                    app_voicemail doesn't correctly handle multiple
names assigned to a mailbox
Description: 
I've setup a testing context in voicemail.conf to show a colleague how you
can assign multiple names to the same mailbox (for use by the Directory()
application).

[testing]
123 => 1111,Jared Smith
123 => d,David Duffett
123 => d,Mark Spencer

This works great, except that the VoiceMailMain() application now no
longer is able to access mailbox 123 with PIN number 1111.  Apparently
there's a regression here.

No, I wouldn't say that I was exploiting something, it was functionality
that was intentionally added to give the ability to have multiple names for
a given mailbox... hence the requirement that you put 'd' in the password
field, which stands for "duplicate".  This functionality has been in
Asterisk since at least 0.50, if not earlier.

Yes, placing the duplicates *before* the mailbox with the actual PIN
solves the problem, but that either needs to be well documented or fixed in
the implementation.
