I didn't save my original init/main.c so I can't make you a diff. Easy temp fix though, others will find a better way.
A few lines from the end of the file (line 1014) is:
execve(execute_command,argv_init,envp_init);
Just add: if(execute_command != NULL) if(*execute_command) execve(execute_command,argv_init,envp_init);
That'll fix it.
