Comment 2 for bug 307447

We see this across a range of services: eg edge*; lpnet*; xmlrpc

The most recent case was edge4.
AFAICT, there are no relevant logs.

Symptoms observed:
* The service in question is no longer responsive
* simple HTTP ping (alive/dead) style checks show the service as being alive
* more detailed checks (looking for XYZ string back) show a fail
* the service will be working fine until the 'make stop' which leaves it in this never-never land

We have an RT against the LOSAs to add a 'die die die' loop to the init.d script; but that's a fairly harsh workaround.
