As best as I could tell (and I could be very wrong so please excuse me if so) the problem was not down to my modifications but to line 1593 in app_dial.c:

Another thing you can do is compare the output of "show memory
allocations app_dial.c" before and after the call.  If there is a leak
in there, you should see an additional entry that was not there before.
 It will point you to the line number where the allocation was made.

It may not have been your fault.  :)
