[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#378940: sysvinit: does not sanitize environment properly

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I found this patch in Fedora, and the description in this bug made me
believe it might be related.  This patch was included in version
2.86.ds1-40 currently in experimental.  Can you test this version and
let me know if it solve the problem?
