The problem here is that the pid recorded is not the good one.

migus at debian:~$ ps aux | grep safe
root      4707  0.0  0.1  2288 1100 ?        S    12:03   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk -p -U asterisk

migus at debian:~$ cat /var/run/asterisk/asterisk_safe.pid
4705

The problem is that into /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk launch an other process:

migus at debian:~$ tail -1  /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
run_asterisk &

The solution is either to rewrite the safe_asterisk (clean) or to record
pid file into the init.d/asterisk file with the help of something like 
$> echo `ps aux | grep safe_asterisk | awk '{print $2}' | head -1` > file.pid


Hope this help. Currently I do not know which solution I will use.

Cheers,
