[asterisk-ss7] Bug in libss7 with CGB handling

[Kaloyan Kovachev]

Hi,
 you have missed an important piece of information as libss7 and asterisk
versions. Is this with the latest changes made ( see
https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/1676/ and issue SS7-27)?

In the latest version cic and group blocking allows you to specify dpc, so
it seems you are not using it. Those changes are not part of the Asterisk
yet and testing/reporting bugs will be welcome, but it may (or) not be
ready for production use.
