What happens if (at pretty much the same time) you run the command "core show 
calls" in the Asterisk command console?

On my system (Asterisk 13.14.1) I get:

Action: Command
Command: core show calls

Response: Follows
Privilege: Command
0 active calls
0 calls processed
--END COMMAND--

How are you connecting and what are you using to parse the response?

Try a simple telnet and see if the result is the same:

$ telnet localhost 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/2.9.0
Action: login
Username: myusername
Secret: secretpassword

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

Event: FullyBooted
Privilege: system,all
Status: Fully Booted

Action: Command
Command: core show calls

Response: Follows
Privilege: Command
0 active calls
0 calls processed
--END COMMAND--

Response: Goodbye
Message: Thanks for all the fish.
