Comment 1 for bug 313574

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.26

---------------
usplash (0.5.26) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Fix various compiler warnings.
  * debian/splash-functions: Kill usplash more gracefully in splash_stop;
    introduces new SPLASH_ORIG_CONSOLE environment variable which can be
    checked by other init scripts (LP: #304136).
  * Notify the main loop by means of a self-pipe when SIGALRM is triggered,
    rather than attempting to animate the display from a signal handler
    (thanks to Andrea Gasparini for testing and adjustment; LP: #259761).
  * Sleep for 0.1 second rather than 1 second in init script while waiting
    for usplash to die, and adjust the loop count both there and in
    splash-functions to match the previous behaviour of giving usplash up to
    10 seconds to go away (LP: #313574).
