umm, i've never seen the former. the latter is because of the fact
that the console device's close routine is called (incorrectly),
and things get munged... a fix is in the works...

you need to "make obj" before you "make". this is a somewhat
FAQ, but i can certainly understand why; it's a berkeley-makeism...

umm, this is fixed in the current sources; you might want to
grab a replacement for pccons.c, or just update your kernel
source tree again; it was a problem with a bogus initializer
that was used when we converted the system from using statically
allocated tty structures to using dynamically allocated ones.
actually, anything that select()s on console would cause a reboot...

it's on our list of things to do, but there are a few higher priorities.
actually, this one is pretty high up there for me, because i just
bought a Cx486-33 machine, with basically only an ethernet and a
video card... this project will be wakeup()'d when i get access
to a EPROM burner, to write my boot proms... 8-)
