Then it's possible there may be two instances of the service running.
Stop the service with "svc -d" and then use ps to check whether it is
still running.  If so, kill it and then restart the supervised
instance with "svc -u".

You should check /service/*/log too.

AFAICT, this shouldn't be possible.  But maybe your kernel exhibits
bugs after running out of memory.  svc -t might help; rebooting also
might not be a bad idea.
