Bug Description

We have several machines where unbound was updated tonight by automated security updates to 1.5.8-1ubuntu1.1. Afterwards there was no unbound process running, output from systemctl status says:

After a restart everything is fine again. Looking at the extend log with journalctl it looks like the old process was too slow with stopping and systemd was too eager starting the new one. But it is not clear to me why there is no error logged from the new process, then. See http://paste.openstack.org/show/722969/ for that log.

This only seem to happen under load, so it really looks like a race condition during the restart. Guessing the daemon finishes processing requests before it terminates.

I noticed the same issue on some of our unbound servers as well on Ubuntu 16.04. I agree that it's some kind of race condition since it only seemed to happen on some of our servers and not all of them even though they are all configured identically.

Same here, 4 unbound instances, all but one crashed during the update. The last one wasn't under load during the restart
