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.

I have supplied the folks who handle ABE a list of the revisions that are
part of the leak fix. My initial tests on around 10 successful sip calls
shows no leaks. I asked the guys in ABE to supply you with both a plain
(production) with the fix included, and a DEBUG_MALLOC version, which you
can
use in case the fix doesn't apply to you. The best way to use the
DEBUG_MALLOC
version is to start up asterisk, run "memory show allocations" on the CLI,

process a couple hundred calls, then do "memory show allocations" again,
and send the results of both. Hopefully the fix will halt the memory growth
and we won't have any testing to do.
