Description:What's leaking as reported by the memory allocation summary feature of MALLOC_DEBUG:
      728 bytes in          7 allocations by ast_channel_get_manager_vars() line  7506 of channel.c
      728 bytes in          7 allocations by ast_channel_get_vars() line  7480 of channel.

7506: ret = ao2_alloc(sizeof(*ret), varshead_dtor);
7480: ret = ao2_alloc(sizeof(*ret), varshead_dtor);

Reproduction:
If a channel ever enters the bridging system, these two allocations will be leaked when the channel dies.

Easiest way to reproduce this is by calling bridgewait() on a channel.
Another easy method to reproduce this is to just have one device do a simple call to another.

I'd suspect that there's a ref leak on a channel snapshot someplace.

That's what it sounds like, but from my limited testing with a single channel entering and exiting a bridge, the leak doesn't happen. Jonathan, can you still reproduce this leak (make sure to exit asterisk using "core stop gracefully")?
