Confused.  The daemonize() call makes kjournald use init's
files:

quad:/home/akpm# uname -a
Linux quad 2.4.19-pre7 #18 SMP Sun Apr 21 22:42:31 PDT 2002 i686 unknown
quad:/home/akpm# mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/sdb6 -t ext3 < /etc/services
quad:/home/akpm# ps aux|tail -3
root       903  0.0  0.0     0    0 ?        SW   22:45   0:00 [kjournald]

quad:/home/akpm# ls -l /proc/903/fd
total 0
lrwx------    1 root     root           64 Apr 21 22:46 0 -> socket:[479]
lrwx------    1 root     root           64 Apr 21 22:46 10 -> /dev/initctl

That all looks good - every /proc/$(pidof kjournald)/fd
shows that the kjournald instances are using init's files.

Which kernel are you using?  Have you any theories as to why you're
seeing different behaviour?
