Public bug reported: running telinit u causes init to re-exec itself. It loses all process state information in the process, so that services can no longer be stopped/restarted, and restart or start will either start a daemon twice or fail to start it as a consequence.
There needs to be a way that either: - init, telinit, initctl and possibly other manual pages warn of this loss of information; or - this feature gets removed, or - init remembers the process IDs across a restart unless told otherwise.
