Yes, indeed. The init scripts once were executed from a shell script
using "for i in /env/init/*; do...". This is guaranteed to be sorted.

When I converted this to C I used plain readdir() and introduced this
bug :(

Please try the following patch. This should fix the issues.

Subject: [PATCH] startup: Execute init scripts in alphabetical order

Documentation states that init scripts are executed in order and this
had been the case before 90df2a955e. This patch replaced the shell loop
around /env/init/* with a plain readdir which is not sorted at all.
Iterate over the files with glob() which guarantees sorted results.
