Details

Description:
This occurs because /sbin/bootchartd does not stop after the system is initialized, because it can not detect the process that triggers the termination (for archlinux this is agetty). It failes to detect the process, because it does not ignore comments in /etc/inittab (e.g. the line "#id:5:initdefault:" which has been added recently).

I already filled a bug report at the bootchart SF website and provided a patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1821273&group_id=124505&atid=699720

Additional info:
bootchart 0.9-3

Steps to reproduce:
* append "init=/sbin/bootchartd" to your grub kernel command line
* reboot
* try to render the bootchart with the command "bootchart-render"
   bootchartd.diff (0.4 KiB)
This task depends upon

Bump.t
The bug is still here, bootchartd has a stupid regex (line 124 of /sbin/bootchartd) that reads the comment and fails to detect initdefault.
Note that it fails with /etc/inittab shipped by Arch.

Sorry for the delay. I will look into this later today

Please check 0.9-4 when it hits the repos
