Bug#861157: Doesn't run all commands in Exec* if daemon is reloaded

[Sjoerd Simons]

Package: systemd
Version: 233-5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hey,

There is a known issue in systemd that after a daemon reload it lost track of
where in an Exec* sequence it was, which causes the remaining commands not to
run.

I ran into a pretty nasty corner-case yesterday causing one of my boards to
reliably fail to boot thanks to interactions with ifupdown and the lsb init
helpers (I'll open another bug this in a bit). But it's generally a bit
problematic (but usually uncommon) that a (unrelated) daemon-reload can cause
an unchanged service to not start as expected

A fix for the issue got fixed upstream in commit e266c068 (PR:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5354).
