Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rungetty

rungetty 1.2-12 (Hardy 8.04-rc) segfaults on startup when executed from
an upstart script.

/etc/event.d/tty1 contains:

    respawn
    exec /sbin/rungetty -u root tty1 /usr/local/sbin/netboot_login

This results in a blank screen on tty1 and the following in /etc/syslog:

    Apr 22 18:29:08 workstation152-012 kernel: [  270.653437] rungetty[5758]: 
segfault at 00000008 eip 08049e15 esp bfbad730 error 4
    Apr 22 18:29:08 workstation152-012 init: tty1 main process (5758) killed by 
SEGV signal
    Apr 22 18:29:08 workstation152-012 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning

Some other points:
* This configuration worked in Gutsy (rungetty 1.2-10)
* When I copy Gutsy's rungetty (from version 1.2-10) into this Hardy 
partition's /sbin, it works
* When I rebuild the 1.2-12 package from source and copy the binary into /sbin, 
it works

I was trying to rebuild it with symbols to debug, but as you can see it
does not crash when I build it, so that effort failed.
