asterisk users - Oct 2006 - voicemail usernames can't begin with "j" letter?

Dear all,

I've configured Asterisk Voicemail, but after some tests I realised that 
when some call is sent to the voicemail of someone which username begins 
with "j" letter,  Asterisk gives me the error:


WARNING[5865]: app_voicemail.c:2412 leave_voicemail: No entry in 
voicemail config file for 'ohn'

(for a called user named john, for example)


Is this some kind of Asterisk bug, or am I skipping some configuration? 
How can I make things work fine?

Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

What version of * are you running? I have several "j" usernames in
voicemail.conf under SVN-branch-1.2-r37458M.

I playing a bit with this, it seems that if you use the new syntax it
works:

exten => _[a-z].,3,VoiceMail(${EXTEN}|u)

You can, of course, also use the b, j, s, and g flags.

Even using the VoiceMail(u${EXTEN}) still elides the 'j'.
