Thanks for going as far as a patch but when you do that, you should really
try to work from the latest version (ie the one in unstable). start-stop-daemon
has just seen some significant changes (check dpkg 1.14.16.3) and I believe
this bug has been fixed as I now see:
if (interval.tv_sec < 0 || interval.tv_usec < 0)
interval.tv_sec = interval.tv_usec = 0;
Would you like to verify that before we close the bug ?
(It's rather unlikely that we do a dpkg update in stable for this specific
problem)
