I am using pound (net-www/pound-1.7) with Gentoo. When I try to stop and restart the daemon, '/etc/init.d/pound stop' reports an error and the processes are not terminated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. '/etc/init.d/pound start' 2. '/etc/init.d/pound stop' Actual Results: # /etc/init.d/pound start * Starting pound... [ ok ] # /etc/init.d/pound stop * Stopping pound...
