This is *not* healthy.
What might have happened is that a memory page got corrupted somehow,
it's happened to me once. A reboot fixed it.

If, however, the binary is corrupted, then the system won't really come
up in any useable state... I recommend reinstalling the sysvinit .deb
via "dpkg -i sysvinit_2.81-1_alpha.deb" before rebooting.
