MMM.... personally, we call a bunch of things from rc.local under 3.0
with absolutely no problems:
(begin included /etc/rc.local)
#!/bin/sh -u
#
# This script is for augmenting the standard system startup commands. It is 
# executed automatically by the system during boot up.

fbshow -A -B -E -I "Starting*Local*Services..."

# Read in configuration information
. /etc/hostconfig

# (echo -n 'local daemons:')					>/dev/console
#
# Run your own commands here
#
/usr/etc/accton /usr/adm/acct
# The above line initiates the accounting software startup.

# (echo '.')							>/dev/console

#
# The following line initiates the NetNews trn, thread database daemon
# mthreads.
/usr/local/lib/trn/mthreads -d60 -e
# added 11/12/92, 6:30pm, eoliver
# -d60 means run every 60 minutes.
# -e means do enhanced expiration check


/usr/etc/accton is a mach executable, as is mthreads, and mthreads run
with a '-d' is a daemon program which runs without any problems.

So, whatever your problem is, I somehow doubt it is a flaw in rc.local
itself.
