[Bug 1313450] [NEW] Unable to start vsftpd on Ubuntu 14.04 (Amazon/EC2) with default configuration

[Erik Andersson]

Public bug reported:

The configuration submitted was modified during testing, but this also
failed with the default configuration. The only solution I have found so
far was to delete the configuration, this would allow the service to
start, but obviously not work as intended.

If I try to start the service manually using vsftpd or sudo vsftpd I receive the following error message:
500 OOPS: munmap

I also tried the default commands
/etc/init.d/vsftpd or service vsftpd start
