Thanks, walt. That helped a bit. I have raised PRs 41097 and 41100.
However, hald still fails to start.

First invocation:

Note the "unknown return code 0" message. Is "EXIT_SUCCESS" so unusual?

And the second attempt:

Sigh... Due to the delay (25 seconds) I suspect an expired reply timeout.

Any further suggestions?

Kind regards
