Bug#673918: thttpd: New /etc/init.d script has bad logic and exits before starting daemon.

[DeepGeek <deepgeek2007@verizon.net>]

Package: thttpd
Version: 2.25b-11
Severity: important


The logic in the BASH script that starts the daemon is faulty and
causes the script to exit before starting the daemon. I solved this by
commneting out all lines between the setting of variables and the "set
-e" line before the case statment. I don't think most users are able
to do a hack like this. I don't really know BASH flow control, but I
got it going. I use thttpd as my production server. Thank you.
