Where can I get the patch? I'm using plain dietlibc 0.28 on amd64

Over ssh it works with no problems. However e.g. locally from screen it
still dies.

Replaced with debian woody statically linked init and still the same.

What do you mean with magic keys?

It is a fresh SL92 vserver, almost no extra config done. There should be
no such fifos.

However... I stripped down /etc/rc.d/rc to just running sshd and exit.
Still the same. Subsequent vserver halting from the master looks like this:

root:~ # vserver popelka stop
vkill: vc_ctx_kill(): No such process
Vserver '/usr/local/etc/vservers/popelka' still running unexpectedly;
please investigate it manually...
root:~ # vserver popelka stop
vserver 'popelka' is not running

Once I exit the dead X session (running e.g. on tty7) I still can't use
the keyboard. I must ssh from a different host and with "chvt 1" switch
the console. Only after that I could use the keyboard again. When going
back to tty7 I can see some binary garbage after "INIT: no more
processes left in this runlevel".

Not too much of success...
