Summary:                    Asterisk is looking in the wrong location for the
asterisk.pid (and probably asterisk.ctl) file.
Description: 
Asterisk is not looking in the config file for where to locate the
asterisk.pid file.  Using strings, it is readily apparent that the location
is also hard-coded in the asterisk binary.

The override does not appear to be working.
