Yep... it's so users can do:

$ kill -HUP 'pidof asterisk'

(or something similar) to get Asterisk to re-read all its configuration,
like many other daemons do.

One possible way to address this would be for the signal handler to just
'post' the module reload request somewhere and have another thread do
the reload.
