Init scripts frequently fail to start their daemons #395

Description

I've gotten multiple reports of this on IRC, as well as a comment on #350, and now a mailing list thread.

No clear cause yet, and while it's been reported multiple times I don't expect that it is a constant problem or we'd be hearing much more about it. In some very limited testing on my end so far, I can recreate the problem maybe 30-50% of the time -- but it is reproducible.

Symptom is simply that init-style scripts responsible for starting daemons and then returning immediately, will return OK, return code of 0 and "success" status message printed to stdout -- but will not actually spin up the daemon in question.

My personal test was done via latest master targeting an Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) VM and the stock Apache2 package's init script.
