Indeed, the very last part of the "for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/S*" is
the cause, thanks for pointing it out :-)

Now to fix that... first I guess it should be asked if the 'else action
$"Starting $subsys: " $i start' is really useful. Aren't all current
init scripts expected to manage their output on their own?

That whole egrep being done seems badly broken by design, since it even
catches lines like "Reloading infrared remote control daemon
($prog)" (real example from the lirc package) only because there is
"daemon " on an echo line, not because it's daemon() being called.

Should I bugzilla this against initscripts and let discussion follow
there?
