[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hey,

OK so those two are fixed by Chris patch.

Regarding those four, I was able to reproduce the issue this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix repl
(stop-service 'guix-daemon)
(start-service 'guix-daemon (list (number->string (getpid))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The latter command hangs and Shepherd becomes unresponsive.  I collected
an (attached) strace dump of Shepherd showing that there is no response
on the socket when the service is started.

Note that, this works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix repl
(stop-service 'guix-daemon)
(start-service 'guix-daemon) 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So the problem could be caused by the "container-excursion*" in the
"fork+exec-command/container" procedure.

Thanks,

Mathieu
