Reproduced:

root      9723  0.0  0.0  25760  1372 pts/11   S+   03:02   0:00  |

                          \_ /bin/sh
/usr/share/bootsplash/scripts/make-boot-splash-raw /boot/initrd.img
Mageia-Default

=> bork

So it seems like some recent change in DrakX which causes it to call
make-boot-splash even for /boot/initrd.img...
