I don't know which getty you are running. If you are running getty_ps2.0.6,
this is a known problem between getty and sysvinit. I have fixed the problem
for version 2.0.7, which should be released next week... (I have three pri-
orities right now... sleep, homework, getty... in that order). But it is
almost ready to start beta testing.
