I believe this is due to usplash requiring a FIFO output reader when
getting the "INPUTCHAR" command.  There is a race condition in the fsck
script that the reader starts after the write is sent.  usplash will
exit when it wins the race.

e.g.:

$ sudo -s
# usplash -c -v &
# usplash_write "INPUTCHAR"
[1]+  Exit 1                  usplash -c -v
