A colleague of mine submitted a bug report regarding an infinite loop
triggered when calling `lsb_start_daemon` with the `-p` option[1].  This
bug has been around since at least Fedora 9 and is still present in the
beta for Fedora 12.

Considering the fact that `lsb_start_daemon` is supposed to be called
from init scripts, this may hang the boot process.  That's pretty bad.
I know it's a bit late, but seeing that there is a patch, any chance of
getting this in for Fedora 12?
