Unable to reproduce on 2.1.1.

Perhaps you could give us some details about precisely how rdimport(1) is being 
"interrupted".  In my tests here, sending SIGKILL to a running RDImport 
instance has no adverse effects beyond (obviously) killing that instance.

If you're rebooting the machine, you've got a lot of possible mayhem beyond RD 
that could be in play here.  MySQL shutting down, the /var/snd mount going 
away, to name just a couple.  Before doing so, you want to be sure that any 
running RDImport instances are shut down cleanly.  The Rivendell init script 
will do this when called with the 'stop' option.

Cheers!
