I'll take a look at this.  The -C option (log to shared buffer) is basically
essential for this package, so removing it is not an option.

I think a better idea is to use start-stop-daemon for this stuff, instead of
poking at /proc/$pid/stat &Co.  I'll also take a look.

Thank you for the report.  Downloading hurd image to verify... ;)
