If we're really concerned that this could be a problem (and I don't 
know enough about it to comment) then feel free to wrap a syntax test 
around the last echo. What I'm trying to do is simplify the routine, 
and allow obviously bogus responses to be rejected with cheap tests.

Given that this thing is on by default, and that people are always 
complaining that rc.d stuff runs too slow, we need to be a little more 
careful to do it well, rather than just good enough.
