Comment 10 for bug 1124384

I've verified this is still an issue with the following user-data on upstart at '1.8-0ubuntu1'.
This is re-creatable via the most recent daily image (ubuntu-raring-daily-amd64-server-20130403). I used ami-88a4c1e1.

But you can download and recreate as above. The user-data provided to recreate is below. The 'createmark' is necessary because we've disabled the 'initctl reload' call to lessen the issue. touching that file turns the call back on.
