Thanks for the fix.  Now it runs ok.

Before:
  $ sudo ./perf test -v daemon
   85: daemon operations                                               :

  test child forked, pid 82420
  test daemon list
  ./tests/shell/daemon.sh: line 133: 82426 Segmentation fault
perf daemon start --config ${config}
  test daemon reconfig
  ./tests/shell/daemon.sh: line 133: 82520 Segmentation fault
perf daemon start --config ${config}
  test daemon stop
  ./tests/shell/daemon.sh: line 133: 82636 Segmentation fault

  test daemon signal
  ./tests/shell/daemon.sh: line 133: 82674 Segmentation fault

perf daemon start --config ${config}
  test daemon lock
  ./tests/shell/daemon.sh: line 133: 82734 Segmentation fault
perf daemon start --config ${config}
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  daemon operations: Ok

Maybe we need to investigate more why it was ok..
But at least I don't see segfaults anymore


After:
   85: daemon operations                                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 80752
  test daemon list
  test daemon reconfig
  test daemon stop
  test daemon signal
  signal 12 sent to session 'test [81022]'
  signal 12 sent to session 'test [81022]'
  test daemon ping
  test daemon lock
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  daemon operations: Ok
