  running with or without systemd makes no difference 
(systemd-journald was running when i boot using systemd)

  i've tried all sorts of things to get back to working
but nothing has made any difference yet.  i've reverted
kernel versions, libc, systemd, dbus, completely removed
systemd, removed rsyslog.  and and when i say removed
that means i've also purged the configuration files in
/etc.

  ah, well, i'll keep digging, looks like the bash
version has changed.

 a while ago i was looking for a program that would
allow me to copy partition images and restore them --
now i wish i had been a little more persistent in
that search...  :)
