[sysvinit-devel] (fwd) Bug#582442: sysvinit: Failing to interrupt some script after upgrade

Werner, any idea how startpar should handle ^c?  This is the report in
<URL: http://bugs.debian.org/582442 >.

I tested this, and pressing ^c while rcS.d/ scripts are executed break
the entire boot.

Happy hacking,
