Summary:                    (init) inittab handling broken in revision 17937
Description: 
Since revision 17937 not all items in the inittab are executed.

My inittab file:

::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
::wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2

tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

::restart:/sbin/init

::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rc 0


The "wait" (rc 2) and "shutdown" (rc 0) scripts are not executed after rev
17937, also if I replace the "wait" with a second "sysinit" this line is
not executed. Running rc 0 or rc 2 by hand or using a busybox before rev
17937 works fine.

Libc: uClibc-0.9.28
gcc: gcc-3.3.3

The problem seems to be a bit different. No init startup/shutdown output is
shown on the console anymore and some daemons won't start up on boot time
with this revision (maybe they need a controlling tty?). Some examples of
daemons that won't start on init: dnsmasq and ulogd
