I'm at a conference where anyone with an XO gets urgently questioned  
about their version management, so I've not got one with me right  
now ... what does lsof(1) say this init process has open, and what  
does /proc/1/stat* say about the memory cost?

I do recall there was a really good reason why our init is in  
Python ... activation and so forth.  Does it deserve recoding just to  
save 5Mb?
