[Asterisk-Users] Problem with call pickup

I have configured call pickup, and this works fine.
Although there are 2 problems, perhaps anyone would know a solution to this;
 
- When I pickup a call from another set, the *8 code keeps being displayed
in my screen (Snom 220). 
  I would like it to show the phonenumber of the person calling me.
 
- When a caller that I've answered through Call-Pickup disconnects, my phone
does not close the connection but acts like there is still someone on the
otherside. (Logging shows dat de Zap/channel has cleared, but not the
SIP/channel)
 
I use Asterisk 1.0.2-BRIstuffed-0.2.0-RC2
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
