What you're seeing is the HUP sent as /etc/rc exits.  I had the same
problem with mysql exiting.

In the mysql case, I was able to work around it by putting a "sleep 30"
before the "exit 0" at the end of /etc/rc, but that only worked because
mysql eventually installs its own handler for SIGHUP.  I didn't look any
further for a more permanent solution, nor did I ever find why some
processes started by rc seemed to receive the HUP but others didn't...
