[Asterisk-Users] TxtCIDName returning mangled text

Good day all,

I have started playing around with using the TxtCIDName lookup tool to 
replace the CID name field on inbound calls.  The DNS side of things 
seems to be working perfectly.  When I trace the lookup that Asterisk 
performs, the name it gets back is perfect.  But, when I use 
SetCIDName(${TXTCIDNAME}), the name is all mangled.

Specifically, the name that comes back from DNS is "jeff-cell".  When I 
see the name on my phone, it reads as "je".  When I watch the varible 
set on the console it is "         je" or so, with varying amounts of 
space before depending on exactly how the name in the TXT record is 
formatted.  Not quite sure what to think.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jeff
