This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #273761. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug report is likely a duplicate of bug 273761 which was Fixed during Intrepid development with upstart version 0.3.9-8. As in some duplicates of bug 273761 it seems that apport is reporting the wrong version of upstart crashing and this was actually a crash in version 0.3.9-7.

If you can recreate this crash by executing 'sudo telinit -u' in a terminal please reopen this bug report. Thanks in advance!

Tried that and got this..

 sudo telinit -u
telinit: invalid option: -u
Try `telinit --help' for more information.

I meant 'sudo telinit u'.

[philinux (philcb)]

Ok got it.

It executed. No messages or crash
sudo telinit u
