Well, yea, it does :)

I can confirm that the current code doesn't make sense to me, unless
the last character of "runlevel" is there strictly for
"self-documentation" purposes, in which case I think it failed anyway
:)
I would suggest to file a bug; either the string constant should be
"runleve" ( and/or a comment should be added), or the integer constant
should be 8.
Good eyes!
