Many initscripts incorrectly reload on runlevel change. This is due to the
'daemon' function in /etc/init.d/functions returning incorrect exit status
since the addition of libsafe support.
The function exits with 'unset LD_PRELOAD' which replaces the exit status of
the executed daemon.
Patch is attached to correctly return daemon exit status.
