Summary:                    memory leak due to ast_cdr_alloc invocations during
call routing
Description: 
After approx. 600000 bridged calls asterisk grows up to 512Mb and OS
(Freebsd) forbids further memory allocations. Due to that asterisk process
dies.
Following scheme was used to produce the error situation:
1)sipp call originator(sipp -sn uac_pcap -p 5062 -s XXX 127.0.0.1).
2)sipp call terminator(sipp  -sn uas -p 5061)
3)asterisk config in 'additional information' section.
After problem detection asterisk was built with MALLOC_DEBUG. Further
investigation showed increasing memory allocations in cdr.c(ast_cdr_alloc).
After that following lines have been inserted in cdr.c:

After that in asterisk log whole call bridging look like this:

3 memory allocations with 1 memory releasing obviously leeds to memory
leak.

Maybe this is related to http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10658 ?
I also had memory leak but after applying that patch it's gone.
