Title:
  Upstart job hangs at "start/killed"

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  I have the following upstart job:

  $ cat /etc/init/freenet.conf
  start on runlevel 2
  chdir /mnt/datanr/freenet
  exec sudo -u freenet ./run.sh start
  nice 5
  expect daemon

  Upstart starts it during boot, but is unable to stop it.

  $ sudo status freenet
  freenet start/killed, process 2444

  Process with pid 2444 does not exist, I guess there are too many
  forks.

  I'll try using "su" instead of "sudo", but cannot change/start nor
  stop the process really.

  $ status freenet
  freenet start/killed, process 2444
  $ sudo stop freenet
  ^C
  $ status freenet
  freenet stop/killed, process 2444
  $ sudo stop freenet
  stop: Job has already been stopped: freenet

  All the time, there's no process 2444.

  I'm attaching straces of the hanging start and stop actions, and a
  core dump.
