It's 1.3.81 where the behavior of FIFOs changed. I just tried
replacing sysvinit 2.58-2 with 2.59 on a 1.3.81 system and found the
behavior unchanged (endless looping on the message ``error reading
initrequest'') when a runlevel change is requested.
last.c doesn't compile either, I tried the patch:
$ diff -u last.c.orig last.c
--- last.c.orig Sat Mar 30 21:38:36 1996
+++ last.c Sat Mar 30 21:39:56 1996

char *Version = "@(#) last 2.0 12-Mar-1996 MvS";
But I didn't bother to install and test it when I found init broken.
Sysvinit 2.57b does not break with 1.3.81.
