Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-20
Severity: normal

I got used to the fact that "init 2" in single user mode properly
trnasitioned to multi-user.  No more: now it doesn't kill the shell from
which it was started, apparently.  I actually get the shell _and_ a new
getty running on the same tty.  Imagine the chaos.

I know that there is a well documented procedure to do what I want
(exit the shell), but habits die hard.  I don't see why the shell is
immune to the sending of SIGTERMs?

One funny thing about the machine is that root shell is bash-static.
I haven't tried to undo that yet, but I might if you can't reproduce
this and you ask politely.
