The server in question is 8.2-STABLE compiled on May 2, 2011.  It
happened most recently when I manually upgraded from asterisk-1.6
to asterisk-1.8.3.  The steps I performed were from an older ports
tree:

1. build asterisk-1.8.3
2. pkg_delete asterisk-addons asterisk-1.6
3. install asterisk-1.8.3

The dahdi group in /etc/group at this point dropped the asterisk
user.  I manually added asterisk to the dahdi group.  Then, I cvsuped
and cvs updated the ports tree to latest and did a portupgrade -vf
asterisk to upgrade to asterisk-1.8.4.2.  After this completed, I
again had to add asterisk to the dahdi group in /etc/group.
