A fixed version of sysvinit has now been uploaded. Note that it's much simpler than the above patch. All you need to do is add an entry for /dev/shm in /etc/fstab as documented in fstab(5), i.e. tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,nodev,size=40%,mode=1777 0 0 and it will all just work. Note that /run/shm will then be linked to /dev/shm, so it won't preclude us switching the default to /run/shm down the line. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
