Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk runs over end of buffer reading
manager input over HTTP and segfaults
Description: 
We have a number of applications working over manager, and whilst I have
not been able to nail down what precisely is causing this, it has occurred
a number of times.  It looks like xml_translate is looking for a
null-terminated string, but the string is not always null-terminated, so it
runs off the end of the buffer and segfaults.

Apologies for the delay - things have been flat out here for the past few
weeks.  I have had it installed on a lightly loaded system and have not
experienced the crash, however I've been planning on having it deployed to
some larger sites before confirming here.  I have that scheduled for next
week, but at this stage, the fix appears to be functioning as expected.
