Title:
  Suddenly start_daemon does not fork the new pid, hangs the script

Status in “lsb” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lsb

  Suddenly software which uses start_daemon to launch a daemon process
  in the background caused an Ubuntu Server 8.10 not to completely
  reboot. The package that utilizes start_daemon is ooRexx: Open Object
  Rexx.

  The startup script for the rxapid daemon does various checks to
  determine which way to launch the daemon. On 8.10, it selects
  start_daemon as that is available.

  The script successfully launches the ooRexx rxapid daemon, as I can
  successfully interact with the daemon.

  However, the script never ends, and that causes the server to never
  get to a login prompt on tty1.

  I am successfully using /etc/rc.local to start rxapid, and have
  removed the service using: update-rc.d -f rxapid remove

  This server used to boot normally. A kernel update caused me to need
  to reboot the server, thus I discovered this problem.
