Summary:                    [patch] dialgroup fills database with duplicates
Description: 
every time a dialgroup is called, it appends to the astdb resulting in a
ridiculous number of repeats. It is, however, sorting the duplicates.

example usage:
http://www.asterisk.org/docs/asterisk/trunk/functions/dialgroup
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+func+dialgroup

Either the way to use dialgroup is violently wrong or there is a bug in
how stuff works.

After a while, you end up with:

/dialgroup/5f                                     :

database deltree dialgroup/5f also lies about its success.

I see that the documentation also needs to be updated, but let's ensure
this patch fixes your duplicates, first.
