Summary:                    (not so)large astDB key values cause asterisk to
take up a lot of memory
Description: 
I've been testing astDB limits in combination with asterisk.

a simple dialplan :
exten = _X.,n(waiting),Set(DB(test/testing)=${DB(test/testing)}a)
exten = _X.,n,goto(waiting)

made the value length grow up to max. 4096bytes causing asterisk to take
up 84% memory on a machine with 4gb ram

also in one of the test a whitespace came out of nowhere:
