[asterisk-ss7] Problem with CGB/CGBA and NAI

[Matthew Fredrickson]

Sorry for the high latency on this, but it has been really busy.  This 
looks like it could be a bug in the configuration file parsing code.

Can you try the attached patch for me and tell me if the NAI goes to 
what you set it to?  (it should apply ok against 1.6)
