Summary:                    Memory leak in Asterisk 1.4 and Trunk
Description: 
Both versions of Asterisk have a huge memory leak. I thought that it was
Trunk only and ported my app to 1.4. After 1 day and 17 hours the memory
has gone up 1.2 GB. I only have 300 open calls. My machine is open for
inspection. I am not using "malloc debug" and "don't optimize", for
performance reasons,but I will restart tonight the server. if somebody
wants to suggest any diagnostic technique, please let me know before I
restart.

OK, then, on to step 2.

I have taken your dialplan code and converted it to AEL.
I notice that you are using a function I am not familiar with,
MINIXEL_ROUTING. Since I do not have this func, please give
me some example values for:
CARRIERLIST,Z,NANI,CLIST,PLIST
with which I can simulate your environment.

Also, while I'm doing this at my end, can you please
try running your asterisk with valgrind? It involves these
sorts of steps:

1. run "valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes asterisk -cgv"

I don't think you'll be able to run this in a production setting. It will
slow down asterisk tremendously.

2. Let Asterisk run for a while, and process a series of calls. Maybe 5 or
10
   should suffice.

3. then, enter the command "stop gracefully"

4. Take all console output from beginning to end, and attach to this bug
report.
