OK, this, it turns out is a result of running prelink via cron. The prelink package we (Mageia) have is basically the same as the Fedora one. It has a cronjob which calls "telinit u" but the prelink binary itself calls "/sbin/init U" which does the same thing, thus two daemon-reexecs in rapid succession which triggers this bug. For now I've disabled the "telinit u" call in prelink, but the real trick would be fixing the bug/race in serialisation :) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/ _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
