Hash: SHA512

Must press Control-D twice to exit sulogin.  The first attempt to
press Control-D will erronously report 'Login incorrect'.  The
second attempt succeeds, *unless* sulogin is being run with
- --timeout

root@miraculix:/tmp# sulogin
Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue): 
Login incorrect

Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue): 


This bug is extra nasty in combination with the timeout bug, since
Control-D apparently is completely ignored after the SIGALRM. This
means that there is no way to exit sulogin after the timeout has
expired without knowing the root password.

Combine that with using SULOGIN=yes and you have a system which
reuires root password knowledge to boot...  That's bad.
