   What I found out since, is, that the bosserver restarts without any problems
   as long as I start it up from a user shell (as root, of course), but dies
   with the "can't initialize rx" log message if started via /etc/inittab,
   so it appears to be a misbehavior of the old instance of bosserver, not
   the new one.

Actually, what I discovered is that the "bosserver" somehow restarts
because new processes are created (fileserver, ptserver, etc), but the
bosserver seems to not be present.  Given that the other logs have all
been turned over and that there were graceful shutdowns/startups of each
of the sub-processes, it seems that the bosserver somehow is trying to
initialize the rx layer late.

As I said, it is not consistent behavior.  Personally, I have found the
bosserver to die with the weekly restart and not when doing

	bos restart <server> -bosserver
