BTW, not sure what it is worth but this has been an issue in Asterisk
since early 1.2.  I always just worked around it since it was a minor
nuisance.

Just an observation, but it seemed that if I did not issue reloads or
keep a connection to the Asterisk CLI, the issue would not occur.  I
don't know if that is fact or just imagination...
