allocation failure in config.c
Description: 
Follow this telnet log to reproduce.  When attempting to execute the second
block asterisk crashes and in the logs I see this error:

Asterisk dies every time I try those sequence of steps in telnet.

I followed the steps in backtrace.txt but no core file was produced so
it's not a crash--asterisk is just exiting because of that mem alloc error.
