Description:I was trying out the 'dialplan save' call from the asterisk CLI and it crashed when trying to write out this line (which it had already read from extensions.conf on startup):

exten => 1234,1,RTPPage(basic|224.0.0.1:7000|ulaw|ef)

By looking at the code I noticed that it tries to replace '|' with ',' but the buffer it writes to is only allocated to 1 byte, so it crashes. It might be worth noting that I ran Asterisk on a blackfin processor under uClinux, but looking at the code I do not thing that matters.

The problem is located at line 1370 in pbx/pbx_config.c where the char pointer to tempdata is allocated. It takes strlen(tempdata) instead of strlen(s) and because tempdata is set to an empty string a few lines up, this will always allocate a single byte.

I've looked at the latest revision of pbx_config.c in the 1.4 branch, and the problem is still there. I've added a patch in the addition information field. By using this patch, the crash is avoided and the writeout seems to work correctly.
