What I'm thinking is something like having a facility that begins with
a digit.  For example, suppose some 3Com product comes with a daemon
3comd, so someone picks a place in startup - S62, say - and creates
S623comd to start 3comd...and then gets bitten by its running at the
end of the sequence rather than between S61 and S63.
