Hi Kamen, Thanks a lot for reporting this problem, it is a pretty serious bug actually.
Could you please replace the initscript (/etc/init.d/docvert-converter) with the one attached to this email and let me know if that fixes your problem? If it does, I'll try to request a freeze exception to get it fixed in Lenny. Thanks again! Francois
