I've already given these patches a look and have made a few small adjustments to them where necessary for coding guidelines reasons. Most of the leak fixes are pretty straightforward, but one of these bears a bit of explanation:

> Prior to Asterisk 12, originating calls with channel variables required that you transfer ownership of the created ast_variables structure away when calling ast_pbx_outgoing_exten() or ast_pbx_outgoing_app(). This was presumably because these functions could spawn threads that required these variables to not be freed yet. However, in Asterisk 12, ast_pbx_outgoing_exten() and ast_pbx_outgoing_app() were rewritten to not use the variables in the spawned threads. However, we also stopped actually destroying the variables there, too. So with this patch, responsibility for freeing the variables lies with the original creator of the variables.
