Upstream added an important configuration option as part of a security
fix (a gauge to control the limitations imposed the new restrictions
against DoS attacks). It was important for those to get into the
reference documentation.

Sadly the reference config files are olso copied to /etc/asterisk. In
retrospect I should have manually patched them at install time (that is:
in the install target).

However if I fix this now, we get the same issue with those who have
already upgraded, which is why I tagged it as "wontfix". Any better
suggestion?
