Comment 20 for bug 40285

tried both, not helped:

# export LD_BIND_NOW=1
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service vsftpd restart

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
e.g. stop vsftpd ; start vsftpd. The restart(8) utility is also available.
vsftpd stop/waiting
vsftpd start/running, process 7738
