Summary:                    too small reponse for dbget through agi
Description: 
I'm using agi to get persistent members in queues, but the response in some
cases come incomplete, when have too many members in queue. I changed the
size of char tmp variable from 256 to 1024 on res/res_agi.c file, and fixed
this issue in a sample test. But I want to know, this change can cause
problems?? 
I also would suggest that this changed to be applied in asterisk and
asterisk CLI.

I'd go with this patch, instead.  Unfortunately, simply increasing the size
of a static buffer can get us into trouble, especially for people who call
AGI within several layers of Macro.  This patch dynamically allocates space
on the heap and automatically grows to the appropriate size for the buffer.
 In trunk (1.6.0 and later), we have a much better system for dynamically
allocating space for string management, but this change will work fine for
1.4.
