[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#406587: init and telinit can reveal root pass on return from runlevel 1

[Grant Thomas]

I have the same problem as Lewis Stoddart above, with a small difference.

My machine gives the bash error when the username is supplied.
I do not receive the password in cleartext.

The problem does not appear when the maintenance mode is skipped with 
<crtl>+D.
