Interesting problem, I'm quite curious what the cause is.

Are you 100% sure that the asterisk your are running is in /usr/sbin? Try 'which asterisk' to see what your shell is running and/or start asterisk with a full path as /usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvvc.

You could also try renaming the binary to find out if indeed something kills Asterisk by name.

There's a tool called SystemTap which could give you information which process sent the SIGKILL:
