15 Fixed.

17 # /etc/init.d/postfix status
18 * postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID:
19 26257 [ ok ]

32 I had to use the attached patch (on top of the above) to avoid erroring
33 out during compile. FYI.
34
35 The patch behaves as expected. postfix start waits for master to
36 initialize before returning with the correct return code.
37
38 There is no noticeable delay during startup with a correct
39 configuration. Differences are within margin of error.
40
41 There is less incentive to start master directly.

43 Thanks again.
