sshd problem.

[Kurt Roeckx <Q@ping.be>]

If I run run_init /etc/init.d/ssh start it fails to start, even in
permissive mode.  I have no idea why it fails, I see nothing in
the logs.

If I run strace -f run_init /etc/init.d/ssh start, it starts
without problems, which currently seems to be the only way I can
make it start properly.

Note that it starts up properly when it boots.

I'm using Bryan May's version on debian woody.

run_init strace -f /etc/init.d/ssh start shows this at the end:
