The runit binary package compiled on a G5 worked fine on a G5, but while booting Finnix on a G3/G4, it went from stage 2 to stage 3 immediately. The bash prompt appeared, so runsvdir appears to have initially done the right thing, but process supervision somehow failed.

Release was coming up, so I did a binNMU in a chroot built from debs in sid on 2011-01-16 from snapshot.debian.net (also on a G5), the date the last PPC build in Debian was completed[0].

Investigate what is failing (exit status, any signals, etc) and report back to Debian bug report and/or fix.
