Starting and stopping services via upstart causes errors in the form of
"init: Error while reading from descriptor: Bad file descriptor"

with a lot of services and on multiple machines featuring different hardware configurations.

The services start without errors if launched with the same parameters from the command line.

A result of this is the inability to launch lightdm.
The system becomes near unuseable.

Ubuntu version is 14.04.01
upstart package is up to date.
