My remote console gets disconnected from the Asterisk server, waits a few seconds, 
reconnects and shows me the start-up log.  It's just like if you told asterisk to 
restart now.

What I see in the log is:

I am thinking it's the odbc driver because I believe the server was stable before 
I rebuilt it with odbc voicemail storage support; it had been using the file system
for storage.  I'm in the process of migrating all of my servers to database storage.

The ONLY thing I changed from the previous configuration was to convert to odbc voicemail 
storage.

Ya, I understand; I was just tired... and frustrated.  Thanks again for your time.
