So I think its the atoi(NULL) that is the problem. It might not work at other runlevels as well, but I didn't test those.

Is it only runlevel 2? If that's the case it is probably an environment variable that depends on some higher-level initializations. In which case if you really wanted to know what it depended on you could start fooling around with your initscripts in your VM. You could probably narrow it down to a few suspicious ones and figure it out fairly quick. That’s pretty weird. Is it only runlevel 2?
