/etc/inittab usage chagned?

I have an older embedded box running busybox 1.4.2.  This inittab file 
correctly launches both openvpn and rsync.

::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS S boot
::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rcS K stop
tts/0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
ttyS0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
tty1::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
::respawn:/usr/sbin/openvpn --writepid /var/run/openvpn.server.pid 
--config /etc/openvpn/client.conf
::respawn:/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach

However, on a newer 1.14.2 busybox, neither of the "respawn" items gets 
launched.  Has something changed?

I've tried a couple of other test cases, and nothing tagged "respawn" 
gets run.

What am I missing?
