[Bug 1264878] [NEW] Job can hang on pre-start

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with upstart 1.11-0ubuntu1. The following job
can cause it to hang at the pre-start process:

exec sleep 1

pre-start script
	stop test
	sleep 1
end script


The job will create the processes "/bin/sh -e /proc/self/fd/9" and "stop test" and doesn't finish it. Interestingly if "stop test" is replaced with "stop" all is working fine.

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)
