 Running Varnish 3.0.2 from RPM on a RHEL6 box, after a crash, varnish
 would not start anymore, even then the init script says that it has
 started. I have not yet figured out why varnish does not start. But the
 main issue here is that the init script says "Ok" when it should say
 "failed".

 itself.)
