The behavior that was reported by Kevin is/was exactly the same 
behavior that I was experiencing with 1.0.5 and reported in another 
thread. I switched back to 1.0.2 to resolve that problem and another I 
was experiencing (SIP calls ringing forever instead of disconnecting 
even when voicemail had already picked up).

Reading through the bug tracker on this one I must say I'm a bit 
confused. I understand the concept of showing useful/relevant callerid 
when a call is transferred (from park or some other extension) but I 
don't understand why a call should ever show the recipient extension's 
callerid. My understanding is that this is the default behavior when no 
other callerid is present and for some reason inbound callerid is 
getting wiped out because it's not correct.

That some people are experiencing problems with this while others are 
not leads me to believe that it might be a problem that is exacerbated 
depending upon the dialplan setup. I'm just thinking this at the top of 
my head now, haven't looked back at my dialplan yet.

What's annoying, either way, is that when this change was made the 
behavior of existing, functioning setups broke. I don't recall seeing 
any documentation for 1.0.5 that noted this might be the case and if 
the documentation is lacking...well, that's a problem.
