asterisk users - Jul 2006 - Reload clears queue stats

Has anyone noticed that doing a 'reload' on the Asterisk console clears
all the stats shown by the 'show queues' command?
I'd like to report a bug, but would probably get my head chewed off for not
testing it in the latest SVN code first.

It is not a bug, it is just the way it works.

Just use a database and queuemetrics perl script to import your 
queue_log into the database and query away.

I find that hard to believe!

Not sure I follow you. queue_log is a file. Doing a 'reload' command
does not cause the file to go away. It's still there, so why does a
'reload' clear those stats? Also, if the data required to rebuild the
queue stats is in queue_log, then even an asterisk shutdown and restart should
read the queue_log and re-populate those stats.
