[Users] OpenVZ and the Ubuntu Upstart init daemon

Actually, the bug has been tracked down -- when upstart is run without
any file descriptors open (as it is under OpenVZ but not during normal
Ubuntu booting) it would accidentally close the control socket.

I am waiting to hear about the one remaining issue, a signal killing
upstart in the VE where it doesn't kill the default init, before I can
declare Feisty fully working ... but I do have a patched upstart and
init scripts set that let me run up a full VE now. :)

Thanks for the comment though.  It looks like that effect is achieved by
OpenVZ -- at least in my version -- which claims the kernel command line
had *only* the word 'quiet' present. 

Regards,
        Daniel
