i've got problem with some init scripts while using bash-3.1 (tested with bash-3.1_p5-r2 and bash-3.1_p7). the scripts reports it started successfully, but daemon isn't started in fact. i've noticed this behaviour with 2 scripts: nvtv and portmap. what's strange - the daemons are started in both case, when i simple copy start-stop-daemon ... procedure from script and paste it to "live" shell. problem disapeard after downgrading to bash-3.0
hehe - jakub: i'm not sure if you're right with changing summary. i suspect it's more general problem. i've noticed it only with those two scripts, but i assume, that there can be more broken. anyway - let it be...;>
you neglected to post `emerge info` portmap script works just fine for me with bash-3.1_p7
portmap also works fine with bash-3.1_p7 on my x86 laptop
well - but it doesn't work for me;/ here's my emerge info: Portage 2.1_pre4-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.6-r2, 2.6.14-VBE_3.0-MPPE_1.3-PINK i686)

you cant expect to have this stuff work when you keep using old versions of baselayout ... upgrade to 1.12.0_pre15
