if I understand you correctly, the behaviour is not reproducible the
second time you run the init script. you should have a workaround by
using another shell, therefore the reduced severity.

and last, please add a bit more information to the report: the bash
version used, bash -x output, maybe a stacktrace.

we don't have qmail, bash-3.0 (although it's not entirely clear, that bash-3.0
is involved), but at least the vpopmail version points to unstable.
