Hi there, i just observed a behaviour in felix-1.4.1 that looks like a contradiction to the OSGi spec to me:
I have a bundle installed, that has set it's bundlelevel to 2, and always throws an execption in the BundleActivator.start() method. If i am in startlevel 1, and issue the shell-command 'startlevel 2', the framework tries to start the bundle and logs an ERROR, as expected. However, if i now (being already in startlevel 2) repeat the command 'startlevel 2', the framework again tries to start the bundle and repeatedly logs an ERROR. IMHO, this looks like a contradiction to the spec, which states in ยง8.2.2 : If the requested start level is the active start level, the Framework will not start or stop any bundles.
