 fixed in HEAD, 8 and 7 by r170085. the commit message states:
 
 "It is not anticipated at this time that we will MFC this change, since
 we'd like to avoid breaking legacy systems. However, there is a fix for
 /etc/rc.subr in the works to avoid running any rc.d scripts twice which
 we should be able to MFC."
 
 i don't know if the patch to /etc/rc.subr that got mentioned in the
 commit message ever made it into RELENG_6 (or any other branch).
 
 however since the actual commit can't be merged into RELENG_6 for
 legacy reasons (as stated in the commit message of r170085) this pr
 should be closed.
 
 it would be interesting to know if in fact at some point in the past
 /etc/rc.subr got modified so rc.d scripts cannot be run twice. if this
 is the case this pr would have been solved by that change without the
 need for r170085.
 
 cheers.
