Ok, so this turned out to be someone adding an entry into Contacts which just
had a company name - no first or surname. Once that entry was removed, Contacts
continued as it had done previously, and now talks to CardDAV in Cyrus again.
Will have a look at the code- that one should be pretty easy to find, as I’m
guessing there was an assumption that there would always be a name in the
CardDAV entry.

I’ll set up a test server with beta10 should anyone have any ideas on
what else might need changed or fixed.
