Re: init patch

[James A Morrison]

 These patches are unrelated.  One has to do with finding the initial
translators: proc, auth; the other, yours, has to do with initialization of
the system: runsystem.

 Make sense?

However, here is probably a better version of your patch, since it
uses crash_system().  Returning err, causes launch_something () to retry
start_child as it needs to and crashes the system if nothing works.
