Yes, I saw that. It doesn't work on hppa (2.4.0 kernel), because
the kernel passes TERM=linux and HOME=/ as the first two envs to init,
and adding a second TERM= to the cmdline gets ingored somewhere. My first
guess was that stacks growing upwards on hppa and downwards everywhere else
might make the processing of duplicated envs different. Anyway, it's
not a b-f or bb issue (so far as I'm aware atm).
