Something wrong with the firewall script???

I did some trial & error, removing scripts one at a time until the
problem went away.  Here is what happens when I _only_ remove the
firewall script:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# rm -fr bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# mkdir bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# cp -a init.d/ bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# cd bs/init.d/
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d#
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d# grep -l "### BEGIN INIT INFO" $PWD/* | xargs insserv
insserv: Max recursions deep 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions deep 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions deep 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions deep 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions deep 99 reached
insserv: Maximum of 99 in ordering reached
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d# rm firewall
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d# grep -l "### BEGIN INIT INFO" $PWD/* | xargs insserv
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d#

-------------------------------------------------------------------

root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d# grep firewall /etc/insserv.conf
$network        network firewall grsecurity
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/bs/init.d#

The firewall script requires "$network", $network requires firewall.  
Infinite loop?!?!?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# rm -fr bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# cp -a init.d/ bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc# cd init.d/ bs
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/init.d# vi /etc/insserv.conf # remove "firewall" from $network line.
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/init.d# grep -l "### BEGIN INIT INFO" $PWD/* | xargs insserv
root:/data/build/tmp/ETC/etc/init.d#

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Works now!

Do we change build/scripts/config/insserv.conf or
build/config/etc/init.d/firewall? 

Neither have been changed in a long time, so I don't know what causes
this problem to start happening now, but it does seem to be an error
from what I've learned about insserv in the last couple days.

I recommend making this change:

# cvs_sf diff ./config/etc/init.d/firewall
Index: ./config/etc/init.d/firewall
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/devil-linux/build/config/etc/init.d/firewall,v
retrieving revision 1.5
diff -r1.5 firewall

< # Required-Start: $network
---
> # Required-Start: network grsecurity


Shall I commit that change???

 Whew ... BS   :-)
