Summary:                    Huge memory consumption after few hours of load
Description: 
I'm doing load tests on Asterisk 1.6.1.5 and after few hours of load, it
takes 80% of ram (6GB installed), so it becomes unable to fork itself (when
using System() dialplan app), and creating core dump takes an hour. Core
dumps are in size of 9 Gigabytes.

Memory summary doesn't show anytingh of much usage:

80469516 bytes allocated (8800 in caches) in 71421 allocations

while top shows:

Mem:   6055876k total,  6009316k used,    46560k free,    19220k buffers
Swap:  4096564k total,  4096548k used,       16k free,   249980k cached
