Summary:                    Dial app seems to only allow dial string less than
255 characters
Description: 
When using a dial string larger than 255 characters, the dial string
becomes automatically truncated to 255 characters.

The problem exists in the latest 1.4.22.1

Now we're getting somewhere, the value is limited because its a global
variable.  The problem here is in pbx.c:pbx_load_config: char
realvalue[256]

We can increase the length to some larger value or switch to ast_str or a
ptr.  It looks like only globals, include contexts, ignore pat, and
switches are affected by this.

I'll wait till the morning to talk to Tilghman or Russell to see what they
would want to do, but it is pretty trivial to resolve this issue.
