Tim, I'm sorry that you're experiencing the issue. I believe that squid may have always had this issue and we only stirred it up by updating squid.
There is a really scary workaround available which is to create a program that exhausts the pid-space until tracked pid exists again, and then upstart will be able to re-attach and kill it... http://heh.fi/tmp/workaround-upstart-snafu I do think that we may need something a little less perfect than a full rewrite of the ptrace tracker that we could possibly backport to lucid. There seems to be a missing command that would allow an administrator to tell upstart to just forget about an instance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406397 Title: init: job stuck with expect fork/daemon when parent reaps child -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
