Hmm, what is /bin/sh on your system? And why are you giving it the 
command line flag "start"? - that's not necessary.

It was added on purpose. "-e" means "halt on error", by default sh will 
carry on even if something fails. We've had cases where that means 
something that should be a comprehensible failure is instead made rather 
less comprehensible.

But damn, if that's causing a breakage for you that's not great news. 
Are you seeing an error message?

Cheers, Simon
