When reading configuration data from an Asterisk .conf file or when pulling
data from an Asterisk RealTime backend, Asterisk was copying the data on the
stack for manipulation. Unfortunately, it is possible to read configuration
data or realtime data from some data source that provides a large blob of
characters. This could potentially cause a crash via a stack overflow.

This patch prevents large sets of data from being read from an ARA backend or
from an Asterisk conf file.
