I have hit this bug on a clean install. I have entries for wvdial and autossh that are not running after boot has completed.

Experiencing similar issues here. "touch" works, a lot of other things (xtightvncserver, conky) don't. Haven't tried some of my custom daemons yet.

There appears to be some more-general issue with auto-starting things. Stuff in .profile or even xdg/autostart - seem to get started over and over till no memory or cpu is left.
systemD setup seems to just fail, but not sure if I'm doing that correctly.

Total fail of all my custom pi configs that require autostart.
