[Bug 931220] Re: lxc.conf upstart job fails to spawn containers at boot time

[Stéphane Graber]

Assigning to Serge at his request ;)

The issue was tracked down to be an inherited fd likely from libldap
passed to libnss-ldap then passed to libnss and eventually to upstart.
This socket isn't marked as CLOEXEC so all processes inherit it.

I'll file a separate bug against upstart to have all the fds closed
before running the jobs, for now though we think it'd be good to have a
close-all-fds option in lxc, possibly making it the default for -d so we
can use it to workaround these issues.

+ lxc-start should get a close-all-fds option to avoid weird issues
