Comment 34 for bug 616287

The problem I reported should be fixed with the following sysvinit update (first bullet, killall5 problem). But it still seems to occur occasionally, I couldn't trace the cause. Any advice how to approach this is welcome.

sysvinit (2.87dsf-4ubuntu18) maverick; urgency=low

  * Allocate pidof/killall5 omitpid buffers dynamically. 16 is too small
    for killall5 now that all Upstart jobs are omitted.
  * Create /lib/init/rw as a symlink to /var/run on new installations, and
    fix it up in /etc/init.d/umountroot on upgrade, as it's difficult to do
    this at any other time; this saves us chasing around all the individual
    packages that use one or the other for sendsigs.omit.d (LP: #541512).
  * Handle /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d explicitly, just in case.
