Yes, this would appear to be  a problem with the application. I wouldn't
recommend using  svc -k  unless you  absolutely have  to use  SIGKILL to
kill  off  processes. Wouldn't  it  seem  more  appropriate to  fix  the
application's output if possible?

To  test this  theory,  shutdown  the service  and  run  the run  script
directly on the command line:

svc -d /service/servicename
/service/servicename/run > /tmp/output &
# wait a bit for your service to come up.
kill $!

Wait for  program to exit  and then analyze  /tmp/output to see  if it's
missing a newline.
