[asterisk-dev] asterisk memory leaks

[Mark Spowage]

yes, i was considering that, and just wanted to see if others have the same

both sip and gtalk calls keep eating at the memory, all features such
as call logging are
disabled.

hopefully there will be enough space to run in the debug/developer mode.
