[Gnumed-bugs] Placeholders in latex - title 'Dr' in signature

If I log in as McCoy, placeholder

        $<current_provider>$

will yield

        Dr. L. McCoy

and yet, in my own case, when I had created myself in GNUmed -- and despite 
that I had inputted for myself the title 'Dr.' -- what I end up with in PDF 
signatures using $<current_provider>$ is

        Mr. J. Busser

and when I search in GNUmed, GNUmed tells me in its warning about no date of 
birth:

        Mr Dr. Busser, James R.

        The date of birth for this patient is not known!

despite that what shows in the search field (upon refreshing the screen) is

        Busser, Dr James R.

so a calculated 'Mr' appears somewhere in the code. It appears even *despite* 
if I would remove my title 'Dr' in my demographic record, thus rendering the 
title blank.

The problem appears ***linked to the null date of birth*** which I had left for 
my record, because once I had inputted one for myself, then

        $<current_provider>$

will correctly show

        Dr. J. Busser

however the correct working for this placeholder should be achievable even 
despite the null date of birth on which storage staff might reasonable require 
/ desire.
