Fascinating!
Recompiling /etc/athena/cleanup fixes this. For kicks, I ktraced both versions
and compared them. The upshot is that neither version is working correctly, but
my newly compiled version doesn't make init syslog complaints, so I'm not so
unhappy :-).
Unfortunately, I stupidly deleted the original cleanup binary (I want to learn how
to undelete BSD FFS files, but not right now).
You can look in /afs/sipb/user/jhawk/netbsd/cleanup for the ktraces. The interesting
thing is that the new version no longer tries to kill init lots o' times, but instead
tries to kill some *OTHER* process lots of times, but is no more successful, ever.
I think this is someone's bad pointer arithmatic, but I don't feel upto debugging
it right now...

ps: It ocurrs to me that a bunch of you don't really care about this, and I may be
annoying people by sending this mail here. I'll try and stem the tide...
