Are you sure there are two /sbin/init process around, when using 
sysvinit? Back then in my experiments, I remember one /hurd/init (as of 
now) and /sbin/init, and I had to fix procfs so `pidof /sbin/init` would 
actually match exactly and not go into fuzzy search (which would find 
/hurd/init and /sbin/init).
