Thanks for the explanation!  I had naively assumed that the rc script 
does a straightforward mapping of K[0-9][0-9]* scripts to stop actions 
and likewise for S[0-9][0-9]* scripts and start actions, but I now see 
that init scripts are called with the stop action in runlevels 0 and 6 
regardless of which prefix they have.  BTW, it seems as if this 
sysv 'curiosity' is consistent with what file-rc does, as well.

My apologies for filing what has turned out to be a non-bug.

Thanks,
Brian
