That doesn't sound like the exact same issue. Well over 500 restarts
here and absolute consistency found, in that either I get runlevel N 2
and all services started fine or I get runlevel unknown and services not
started (in my case proftpd and cupsd).

No doubt they are similar and most likely caused by race conditions
being created in the way upstart handles starting up services.

Anyone else happily go back to a slower bootup time if it gave them some
control over what order services started up? :D
