Yep, this is an
http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot issue.
Thanks Alex.

The old init scrip that ships with Kamailio 3.0.4 that I am using is
not 100% compatible so I pulled a hack out of the hat and inserted
'sleep 20' before of 'check_fork ()' in the kamailio init script.

Kamailio now waits long enough for all services to start before
launching, simple but effective.

Thanks.
