The error is in the bayonne control script in version 1.2.16 of Gutsy.
This occurs when the control script want to stop the server and no
instance is running. It the tries to exit with a value of -1 which is
illegal for the default shell dash

I'm confirming but it's probably a won't fix.

A quick and dirty workaround is to change the default shell to bash or
edit the bayonne script and change the first line to bash.
