Description Christian Winkler 2017-01-05 16:44:06 UTC

test script on promt:


$( (start-stop-daemon -S -q -b -x sleep -- 5 2>/dev/null) 2>&1 )

***the command waiting for 5 sec until promt ***


$( (start-stop-daemon -S -q -b -x sleep -- 5) 2>&1 )

***without redirect to 2>/dev/null show direct the promt without waiting***



The problem does not exist with all older versions <= 1.25.1 

The behavior is reproducible with every other services e.g. rpcbind from nfs

Yes, it's a bug.
Fixed in git, please try it and reopen if it still does not work correctly.

Thanks.
I have test the commit 86584e134eec1a81298149f8c04c77727f6dccb9 and it's fixed with this.
