[Users] Insert name into from header of SIP messages -- trouble with uac_replace_from

[Norman Brandinger]

Are you using the most recent CVS version of OpenSER ?  I experienced a 
similar problem that was corrected.

I just tried checked and confirmed that the function: 
uac_replace_from("",""); does not cause a problem with OpenSER 
initialization using today's CVS version.

Regards,
Norm
