Aha! So that's it.  I don't run jack either, but it still seems
to work like it should, so I don't complain.  Do more recent
init scripts still consider it a failure not to be running jack?

I've still got that. Sometimes means: when you paste into the
stdin of something (rather than onto /dev/tty).  Except that:
I ssh to localhost; then I'm always pasting to ssh's /dev/tty,
and it takes care of writing to the stdin of its subprocesses.
