Subject: init(8) fails to raise securelevel

Hi,
on my i386 NetBSD-1.3.3 system, init does not raise kern.securelevel when going
multiuser (although the running kernel does not use `options INSECURE'):
hal# grep INSECURE /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/HAL
#options INSECURE # disable kernel security levels
(running multiuser:)
hal# sysctl kern.securelevel
kern.securelevel = 0
Raising the securelevel by hand works:
hal# sysctl -w kern.securelevel=1
kern.securelevel: 0 -> 1
If it matters, /sbin/init is not from the domestic set.
Before I send-pr, am I missing an obvious point?
