### Description
**I did:**
I have installed kamailio 5.2.4 in ubuntu system and configured kamailio script to connect
with erlang node also it sends rpc request to erlang node and get response which I have
printed in a logs.
...
$erl_list(L) = "two";
$erl_list(L) = "one";
xlog("L_ALERT","Before RPC: $erl_list(args=>format)\n");
erl_rpc("erlang", "list_to_tuple", "$erl_list(args)",
"$erl_xbuff(repl)");
xlogl("L_ALERT","type(reply): $erl_xbuff(repl=>type), format(repl):
$erl_xbuff(repl=>format)\n");
...
**Expected to happen:**
Response should be get from erlang node against RPC request and it should be store in
erl_xbuff. And it should be print logs like: ALERT: <script>: 501:type(reply):
tuple, format(repl): {"one", "two"}
**Actually happened:**
Response is getting properly. but the problem is to store data into xbuff so it print logs
like: ALERT: <script>: 501:type(reply): <null>, format(repl): <null>
### Troubleshooting
I have check with older version 4.3.0 and it works fine. getting this problem after 5.2.0
version
So, I have compare 5.2.0 and 4.3.0 version code. I found one change in pv_xbuff.c file
which is creating a problem when I revert the change then it works fine.
#### Reproduction
It will be reproducible everytime. Just sends rpc request and get the value in xbuff.
check xbuff value
#### Log Messages
Problem logs:
```
ALERT: <script>: Before RPC: [["one", "two"]]

ALERT: <script>: 501:type(reply): <null>, format(repl): <null>
```
logs after change:
```

```
### Possible Solutions
revert the 6542a367638ec5f8a2b62994f8c309e7a2533962 commit. It will work fine
