D'oh, same problem again here now (Ser 0.8.12)!

It started with log entries like this:

Jun 24 11:55:54 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[16801]: ERROR: 
build_req_buf_from_sip_req: out of memory
Jun 24 11:55:54 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[16801]: ERROR: 
print_uac_request: no pkg_mem
Jun 24 11:55:54 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[16801]: ERROR: 
t_forward_nonack: failure to add branches

I thought that maybe a restart could help, but SER didn't come up again, 
shouting:

Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: convert_row(): No 
memory left
Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: convert_rows(): 
Error while converting row #6346
Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: convert_result(): 
Error while converting rows
Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: get_result(): Error

Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: preload_udomain(): 
Error while doing db_query
Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: register_udomain(): 
Error while preloading domain 'location'
Jun 24 12:01:02 voip /usr/local/ser/sbin/ser[19117]: domain_fixup(): 
Error while registering domain

After deleting 100 entries from location it came up again. Hope that the 
increase of PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE to 2MB helps.

So it seems that after about 6300 entries or so in location Ser stops 
working with the default configuration!? I'd be interested in how many 
users do other Ser-Servers out there serve? Are there similiar problems?
