I've already checked this: it's solely in /etc/rc.d. There's other 
evidence of dual initialisation, too:

[[[

Apr 27 08:51:01 xxx sshd[1296]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.
]]]

The instance of sshd that is running was successfully started a few 
seconds before this. Again, this is coming out of /etc/rc.

Solution: (n) a watered-down version of something neat.
