Update: replacing /sbin/init with /sbin/initsk12 (byte-identical to
original) "solves" the EIP oops. This allows chkrootkit to run fully,
and to find no problems. Can I consider this machine OK now? There
certainly was a breakin (via user test), and a privilege escalation to
allow the insertion of the compromised (and buggy) init file, and of
/usr/lib/.ss/sk (SucKIT).
