Done and done.  FYI you may want to update 
http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+mpg123+redhat as that's where I got 
inspired to download the RPM.

I just stopped asterisk and killed off all the mpg123 processes... ran 
safe_asterisk and it immediately spawned three mpg123's (which are 0.59r).

I don't see them eating up any processer time just yet but it seems to 
take a few hours for that to happen.  I will report back later.

Probably related to whatever is causing my other headaches - MOH sounds 
very staticy.  The time, pitch, speed are all fine, but there are lots 
of "scratch" sounds and glitches added.  This is with both my own MP3s 
and the ones included with *.

I'm starting to think a format and reinstall might be a good idea.... 
there has got to be something deeper to this.
