>Description:
	The LCDd.sh.sample start script from the LCDproc-0.4.3_2 ports
	starts the LCDd process that's also part of the port in the
	foreground, thereby blocking the system startup.

	This may be a driver issue. It happens with both the
	"curses" driver, where it could be intentional (output to
	the controlling tty should probably continue uninterrupted),
	and the "lcdm001" driver, which could be a bug in the driver.
	I don't have any other output devices to test with.

>How-To-Repeat:
	- install ports/sysutils/lcdproc-0.4.3_2
	- copy /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf.sample to LCDd.conf
	- configure /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf to your liking
	- copy /usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh.sample to LCDd.sh
	- run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh
	
	The script waits for termination of the LCDd process.

>Fix:

	Add a '&' character at the end of the fifth line of
	/usr/local/etc/rc.d/LCDd.sh.sample .
	If this is indeed an issue with the "lcdm001" driver,
	this change breaks the intended behaviour of the 
	"curses" driver.
