Description

I saw this first accidentally when I was trying to fix a problem with my rabbit zone. Then I was able to reproduce it easily.

To reproduce:

go into your rabbitmq zone
svcadm disable rabbitmq
mv /var/db/rabbitmq /var/db/rabbitmq.bak
svcadm enable rabbitmq

What I see is:

[ Jun 13 22:11:58 Executing start method ("/opt/local/sbin/rabbitmq-server"). ]
[ Jun 13 22:11:58 svc.startd could not set context for method:  ]
chdir: No such file or directory
[ Jun 13 22:11:58 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]
[ Jun 13 22:11:58 Executing start method ("/opt/local/sbin/rabbitmq-server"). ]
[ Jun 13 22:11:58 svc.startd could not set context for method:  ]
chdir: No such file or directory
[ Jun 13 22:11:58 Stopping because all processes in service exited. ]

...

looping on my box about 39-40 times per second. I've left it now for over an hour and it doesn't appear that it plans to stop until the service's log fills up the disk.
