1) In stringfields.h:ast_string_field_ptr_set_by_fields(), the __p__ and ptr 
pointers are the same by initialization so the test for *__p__ != *ptr is 
always false and will not release the old string value when 
__ast_string_field_alloc_space() allocates space for the new string value.  I 
think this is the primary leak.

2) In utils.c:__ast_string_field_ptr_grow(), the increase of pool->used doesn't 
seem right.  It should be increased to keep alignment similar to 
utils.c:__ast_string_field_alloc_space().

3) I think a check needs to be added to 
utils.c:__ast_string_field_ptr_build_va() for the case when the string created 
by vsnprintf() is empty so the pool string can be set to the constant 
__ast_string_field_empty pointer.  (Like is done in 
stringfields.h:ast_string_field_ptr_set_by_fields())

4) All of these fixes would apply to v1.8 as well.

    This should be reverted.  ptr is the string being released from the pool 
and __ast_string_field_empty can never be in a pool buffer by definition.

    Doing this check for every pool is overkill when you are only releasing one 
string from one pool.  Once the string is found in a pool you don't need to 
continue looking in any remaining pools.
    
    Setting pool->used = 0 is a good catch for the first pool as this fixes 
reclaiming the space of the first pool.
