Indeed 51/R

I guess you are right, although old versions didn't have this problem - I use
dlr=255 to activate every kind of dlr in my some-month-old kannel in production.

This code handles only receiving and 'R' packets. It's an "if( OR=R && OT=51)
then", so there's no 50_AMSG field available.

Then there's a different code to handle OR=O, OT=53 at line 721, and there is an
  if((emimsg->fields[E50_AMSG]) == NULL)
     msg->sms.msgdata = octstr_create("Delivery Report without text");
  else
     msg->sms.msgdata = octstr_duplicate(emimsg->fields[E50_AMSG]);

This looks like a copy-paste to me. Your patch is cleaner that doing something
like this lines because, indeed, there's no 50_AMSG in OR=R

I'm +1 for it
