Could be a memory leak.

So you're only free()ing this internal structure if the first
element in the array is set?  And not every time (i.e. when you
don't transfer)?

Are you doing checks when you malloc() to make sure that you're
really receiving a memory allocation (not NULL)?

What does the memory size of the asterisk process look like when
your calls start to no longer work?  And when all of them no
longer work?
