Notice how in the orignal patch:

   +    args="--start --chdir $PWD --nicelevel $nice --quiet --oknodo"

there are no quotes (') around $PWD. Debian version 3.2-21 of init-functions
does includes these quotes. However start-stop-daemon does not understand
quotes in the argument to --chdir.

Notice how this prevents gdm from starting:

   # /etc/init.d/gdm start
   Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm/sbin/start-stop-daemon: Unable to 
chdir() to '/' (No such file or directory)

Removing the quotes as in the original patch makes this work again.

So please provide a new version of lsb-base with this fixed or teach
start-stop-daemon not to care about quotes in arguments.

Thanks!
