Bug#418826: this bug/418826: /etc/init.d/rc.tomcat5.5 start uses the current directory

[Pryzby, Justin]

man start-stop-daemon |sed -nre '/^ *-d/,/^$/p'
Reformatting start-stop-daemon(8), please wait...
       -d|--chdir path
              Chdir to path before starting the process. This  is  done  after
              the chroot if the -r|--chroot option is set. When not specified,
              start-stop-daemon will chdir to the root directory before start‐
              ing the process.

Is there reason why the only invocation of s-s-d in the tomcat5.5
initscript without --test is to send kill -9?  Why isn't the server
started with s-s-d, and write out its pid to a file for s-s-d --stop
--pidfile to use?
