[Asterisk-Users] Memory leak in asterisk CVS

Hi Walter,

I had high load and extreme memory usage on my machine. My machine
wasn't running on SMP. My point was that the cvs version you were
using contained some bad patches, and it was probably a good idea to
upgrade or move to stable.

Thanks,
Erik
