SRU for lucid (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates)

1. Impact :
If tomcat6 is runned under a user that has a running bash process, trying to start or restart the service will fail.

2. Fix in development version :
The fix is a oneliner in the initscript, add the missing -p option in start-stop-daemon to use the pidfile.
It was fixed in natty with package version 6.0.28-7ubuntu3

3. Patch :
See bzr branch : lp:~mjeanson/ubuntu/lucid/tomcat6/bug632554

TEST CASE:
* Install tomcat6
* In another shell run : sudo -u tomcat6 /bin/bash
* In the first shell, restart the tomcat6 service : sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart

 * Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6 [ OK ]
 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6 /bin/bash already running.

5. Regression potential
None that I can think of.
