In my first message on the init issue, I suggested the problem was
related to doing "init u" with an old init. I was wrong because the
"u" option was introduced in March or April, and was on the July set
of installation disks. So except for machines that have not been
rebooted or upgraded for more than six months, checking the version is
a non-issue.
The only important thing is that the version you are upgrading _TO_
has not the "buffer overflow" bug, the old version that you have
should not matter.

I guess it should be on its way to the archive and mirrors.
