>Description:
Looks like running ktrace and (or?) kdump in jail isn't a very good idea. When trying to make "/etc/rc.d/jail stop jailname", the jail looks it is stopped, but the entry remains when listing jails with "jls". If the jail is run again, there will be two entries in jls output.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Run ktrace/kdump in a jail,
2. /etc/rc.d/jail stop
3. jls output still contains the entry for that jail.
4. if running /etc/rc.d/jail start, there will be two entries for the same jail, the "broken" one will not work.
