Prevent heap alloc functions from running out of stack space.
When asterisk has run out of memory (for whatever reason), the alloc function logs a message. Logging requires memory. A recipe for infinite recursion. Stop the recursion by comparing the function call depth for sane values before attempting another OOM log message.
