Silly question.. Are you restarting asterisk? Are you sure? A reload 
won't do it. A "restart now" (which will distrupt traffic) should do it, 
but ultimately a "stop now" and start it back up would be better.

By the way, how are you starting asterisk? If you are using a script, 
check what binary it points to.
