I definitely have the runaway init problem, but it seems to be 
of a different flavor from that previously reported.  My /etc/ttys
file has no spuriously "on" lines (Nothing is attached to any
of the serial ports, and they are all "off" so far as I can see>

My process list and my /etc/ttys file follows.  Anybody notice
anything?  Notice that I seem to have TWO init processes running,
which is strange.  Notice also that the inits have grown to
23MB (after about 24 hours).
