on a 'normal' server, init and telinit are often the
same binary, and the 'init' process knows that it is
init by verifying that it's pid equals 1 ...

when init is started, it opens a pipe, which reads
the commands given by telinit and halt, poweroff, etc.

possible causes for this message therefor are:

 - init/telinit is called but not as pid == 1
 - reboot, halt, poweroff are called without -f
 - init is started as 'faked' pid 1 but this
   doesn't work as expected yet ...

possible solutions:

 - add some userspace tool outside the vserver
   which opens/reads the pipe and acts accordingly
 - find the 'bad' invocation and 'improve' it
   or remove it, if not required
 - demonstrate that it is a vserver misbehaviour
   which requires some code change ;)
