The file /lib[64]/rc/sh/runscript.sh is actually a bash script and not a pure POSIX shell compliant code. The script fails to execute successfuly on such systems Reproducible: Always change the shebang to say #!/bin/bash as opposed to #!/bin/sh
no actual details as to why you think it doesn't conform to POSIX. please do not file vague bugs.

That is the correct fix, not requiring bash.
My bad due to poor understanding of how runscript works. The problem turned out to be with init scripts of various applications I have on my system (eg: memcached, mysql, etc. etc). It so happens that the error message shown usually suggests the problem is with runscript.sh as opposed to the init script. Here is an example of the output http://pastie.org/5567404 I guess the answer is something
And those in init.d/memcached are fixed now.
