Bug description:
Hi

Wrong use of the expect fork stanza can create job with status
  job stop/killled, process nnn
without any process nnn running on the system.

As an example the following avahi.conf should have used
"expect daemon", but will instead create a stuck job.

stop on stopping dbus-system
respawn
expect fork
exec avahi-daemon -D
