367	lfs-bootscripts 1.9, wrong column count over serial connection	list@…	lfs-book@…	"I found following bug in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. 
If you use a serial console ""stty size"" (line 16) always reports ""0 0"". 
When you start something like ""/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd start"" the ""[  OK  ]"" 
message beginns at column 0 and overwrites the ""starting ..."" text. 
Following patch resolves this problem.
