Summary:                    [patch] Long hints make asterisk crash
Description: 
Someone made a hint too long and asterisk started crashing. I tracked it
down to pbx.c using AST_MAX_EXTENSION for the length of all the devices
combined, which seems wrong to me. I changed it to use ast_strdupa to avoid
the length issue.
