Thanks for taking a look at this and sending in the patch.

I gave the patch a test run and, while I like what it does in theory, in
practise I'm running into trouble with it. When I use the attached patch
and then run "make check" in the insserv source directory, inssrev
segfaults after about eight tests. I haven't had a chance yet to hunt
down what is causing the problem, but I'm guessing a variable is getting
used before it is given a value/initialized.

The output from the test run is included at the bottom of this e-mail.

If you could please take a look at it and make sure the new insserv code
passes the "make check" tests, I'll give it another test run here and
get the new patch merged upstream.
