The script should return "0" in stop-after-stop/stop-after-dead cases,
not "1".  It's a bug in /etc/init.d/functions of RHEL4's initscripts
package.

Please see this bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151104

There's a patch for /etc/init.d/functions inside it.

The correct solution is to fix the problem with clurgmgrd, which has
been done in CVS and will be in an errata shortly.
