I figured it out, but it's really weird.

The file /etc/init.d/functions contains a bunch of shell script
functions, of course. However, it runs one of those functions called
strstr() and checks to see if /proc/cmdline contains "rc.debug". If it
doesn't, it returns 1, and apparently the dahdi script doesn't
anticipate that, and just exits.

If someone can confirm my logic is correct, I'll open a bug report. In
the meantime, commenting out that last line of /etc/init.d/functions,
where strstr() is called, fixes it.

#strstr "$(cat /proc/cmdline)" "rc.debug" && set -x

Thanks for any ideas.
Alex
