READ THE DAMN ARCHIVES, or at least semi recent discussions.

I'm betting you are a fairly new unix user as you don't seem to
recognize a multi threaded app. Asterisk is behaving similarly to
apache, starting many threads to service quite a few items at once.

Your kernel upgrade is probably not the only thing that has happened
here. It was commented recently in this mailing list that a recent
change in RH ha changed the default behaviour of ps. This change is why
you are now seeing something else.
