Oh it is a problem, and most handle it very ungracefully, such as dovecot w=
hich just dies:

The issue is also most people are used to using rc.local or rc.* type scrip=
ts to spawn a daemon which leads to the next major sysadmin/developer probl=
em with is handling error cases improperly or not at all. (86401 is perhap=
s and error case that people should test for).
