Hmm.

I assume you're specifying full path names in the startup script, so
it's not running afoul of (say) having $PATH defined differently.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that sometimes ulimit
settings differ when running init as compared to a user shell.  But I
can't think of what resource the system would decline to give because
of this; usually the problem is along the lines of getting
insufficient memory space, but that doesn't seem like the problem
you're having.
