Ok.  The oneiric upstart doesn't have the same job logging facilities that
we could use in precise to debug this.

Instead, please try adding just 'exec > /var/log/idmapd.log 2>&1' as the
first line of the pre-start script. This will give you a /var/log/idmapd.log
showing what's going wrong.

This is definitely broken.  There should only be one 'exec' line.  I don't
know which would take precedence when there are two of them.

Yes, the output doesn't go to syslog.

Surprising.  Can you reproduce the original failure now?  Does 'status
idmapd' show the upstart job running?
