Error message: failed to extend from 256 to 379

I compiled and installed the latest Asterisk 1.18.24.0 on my Dockstar Debian Wheezy box to replace an older version. Somehow, in the console, an error message (failed to extend from 256 to 379) keeps come out as shown below. It seem that this does not affect any regular operations and calls yet. There is no such error for my the older versions I have used on this box. In another Dockstar box with Debian Squeeze, the same version does not have this problem. Anyone has idea why this message keeps coming out? Thanks a lot.

Probably has something to do with memory allocation.

Thanks a lot for your reply. After uninstall and reinstall asterisk 1.18.24.0, the error message disappear. It might be caused by some outdated lib files.

It means a (complex) string exceeded an implementation limit. To identify which string you would need to compile with MALOC_DEBUG set and probably have to turn up the debugging level. This should give you information on the source line requesting the string operation.
