I'd suspect that behavior is the result of a problem I reported to
support, for which Martin worked/fixed a few weeks ago.  The issue that
I was having resulted from using the X100P with a CO Centrex line that
rings with a Long & a Short (within the normal ring cycle) to indicate
an incoming call from an outside party. Although * was picking up the
line, apparently the CallerID timing mechanism within * was looking
for CallerID data after the first ring (the Long) and obviously that
data wasn't there and therefore CallerID constantly failed.

I really don't have a clue what was changed since I didn't have any
before/after source snapshot.
