Package: bind9
Version: 1:9.6.1.dfsg.P3-1
Severity: normal

The following loop waits until the server dies. But this may never 
happen. Shouldn't there be a counter to prevent an infinite loop?

if [ -n $pid ]; then
   while kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null; do
      log_progress_msg "waiting for pid $pid to die"
      sleep 1
   done
fi




By the way rndc stop failed (my fault) and named can't write
to the initscripts default PIDFILE because it runs chrooted.
Thus a easy chance to have better chroot support may it be
to allow the default script to overwrite the PIDFILE variable.
