>Description:
Pressing ctrl-D at the init "Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for
sh:" prompt causes it to emit the odd message "can't exec rm2 for single
user".  It looks like single_user() calls fgets to read the name of the
shell, but doesn't check for a NULL return.  When faced with EOF, fgets
returns NULL and doesn't modify the input string, so init gets whatever
was left on the stack.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot single user.
Press ctrl-D at the prompt.
