Comment 21 for bug 880049

This has actually stopped happening on my server, after an upgrade by my hosting provider.

For those still affected by the issue, I have created a PPA that contains the latest oneiric package, with just this one upstream bugfix added:
https://code.launchpad.net/~jammy/+archive/upstart.fix-880049

Its waiting to build on launchpad now, packages should be available in a few hours.
