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
