Well damn. Removing /etc/init.d/splash from the boot runlevel did in fact |
| 30 |
cause /etc/init.d/local to run as the last initscript, just like it's |
| 31 |
supposed to. But it didn't solve the problem of mutt segfaulting when |
| 32 |
called here. |

I took Neil's advice and emerged mailx. All is well again in gentooland. |

(I'd sure like to know why mutt didn't work in local.start, though) |
