I've seen it and Craig's seen it. It's not obvious to me why; there
is definitely a read statement after the "Press return to continue."

I guess rc scripts get run with a umask of 0. Bizarre. I'll do a
umask 022 in the init.d script. I wonder what else this affects.

My guess is that this is stdout vs. stderr, and is not easily changed
(although perhaps some things are getting sent to stderr which ought
to go to stdout; that would be a mkserv issue).

I'll look into it. You'd think people could write man pages that work
everywhere; I never found it that difficult.

Hrm, okay, easy enough to fix.
