Some applications started multiple times at boot

I'm running 2.0-RC1 (i386)
built on Mon Mar 7 12:03:17 EST 2011The system log shows two attempts to start siproxd; the second failing apparently because siproxd was already running:

Was that at boot time? Or when you saved the siproxd settings?
It's always been an issue that certain packages try to start twice at boot time, but it's usually harmless.

Did it actually affect the service in some way? Or was it running OK? It may be harmless.

I haven't tested any calls, so as best I can tell, the only harm is wasting CPU cycles at boot time, which can mount up if replicated across a number of applications or packages. For example, it appears bandwidthd is also started twice at boot time:
clog /var/log/system.log | grep -i bandwidthd
Mar 10 17:10:07 pfsense bandwidthd: Monitoring subnet 192.168.211.128 with netmask 192.168.211.128

Mar 10 17:10:15 pfsense bandwidthd: Syntax Error "syntax error" on line 17I'll change the topic and start another topic for the "syntax error".

The actual packages themselves need to check if they are being run at bootup and account for that.
