I've had this problem before, haven't debugged it. I definitely look 
forward to hearing what is said about this.

Example from my recent experience, I wanted to restart the server and so 
did

pbx0*CLI> restart now

But nothing happened...system continued to allow calls to take place. 
I've found that sometimes exiting and reconnecting to the CLI helps, but 
there have been a couple occasions where NOTHING would allow the server 
to restart save for a reboot. Even killall asterisk didn't kill the 
process....
