Hi Bernhard, I see the same issue with samba, which installs a DHCP hook which calls "invoke-rc.d samba stop" whenever the DHCP state changes, e.g. when you ifup the device during boot or ifdown during shutdown.
So this might be duplicate of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624599 or at least be related. I think your observation is correct that this is due to a reload command being issued to a service which is not fully ready yet/anymore and this is indeed a timing issue. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
