Works beautifully, and I like your implementation better.  

I am having one problem with init on svn HEAD though that I haven't had
time to track down yet.  Blank lines in inittab are causing init to
throw a warning about a badly formatted line.  I have a suspicion that
the inittab that was being parsed may have some DOS line endings and
that is what is causing the problem, but I won't be able to verify until
I get back to work tomorrow.

Thanks again

Eugene
