This belated posting is for the benefit of those who experience this
problem later.
If the service is called say foo and you have a stop method other than
:kill which does "pkill foo", then your stop method will fail with
error 208 if foo is a substring of the script that does the stopping.

Example: service name=smbd, stop method name=/lib/svc/method/arl_smbd
if arl_smbd pkills smbd then the signal will terminate both smbd and
srl_smbd thereby not allowing exit 0 or whatever the last line is to be
reached.
