Bug#781836: systemd: Systemd fails to notice services have died,

[Dennis Boone]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: important

Systemd fails to notice a service has died.  Thereafter, when
asked to start it, it reports success, but the service still
isn't running.  It is necessary to manually stop and then start
the service.  Example follows.  In this case, it was bacula,
but I believe I've seen it with nginx too.
