These initrds are broken. :(

The problem is that the script/program that execs initng forks.
It should not, because that's weird, and isn't needed.

Not only that, last time I checked running InitNG as any process other
than pid 1 seemed to break its ability to detect when certain daemons (those
that forked/daemonized) terminated. (The daemon processes were reparented to
pid 1, and so initng didn't get notification when they exited.) Of course,
that was a while back, and it might've been fixed by now, but I doubt it...
