Andreas,

I can confirm, that with header with brackets. when using
uac_replace_from("", <URI>), like to clean username
Kamailio is adding extra space between From; and <URI>
which is already fishy for me.
I would suspect, that there is a problem with "empty string" and at some
point it's transformed to " " (1-space string)

I guess (again), there is somehing fishy with handling brackets already,
but it revealed with the commit mentionned.

To reproduce, I've added 2nd SIPP file with brackets to a repo.
