Yes, but rc.d scripts behave the same way:

[root@almaz sleep]$ /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart
Stopping syslogd.
usage: sleep seconds
Starting syslogd.

Have no idea why it work that way. Also I am sure this never happened
on default installation of 8.0:

[root@ranir ~]$ /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart
Stopping syslogd.
Starting syslogd.
