Would you mind posting what version of Splashy are you using? Did you
compile it yourself or installed a package?

Weird... we might need to talk to you on IRC to find the source of that.

splashy-init will re-start splashy if it's not found to be running.
Something might be making it segfault at some point and then start
again at rc2.d (and you see the progressbar twice).

I'll look in the source to see if I find what happens when verbose
mode is off (autoverboseonerror right?)
