[Freeswitch-dev] Newbie question on switch_event_dup() with a code snippet

[Anthony Minessale]

Yes cloned events must be destroyed for sure.

Better still what you should so in this case is use a fifo to deliver the
cloned event to another thread so you are not blocking in the event handler.
 You can then destroy it from there.
