My, that's an oldie! If I remember the situation correctly, the problem was that at boot time my keyboard (-controller) could get into a specific state (racing reset?) where incorrect keycodes were emitted which caused all login attempts to crash and dump core (the real problem). As far as I know, the problem disappeared somewhere during the 3.x-STABLE track, but I didn't audit the login source code (being able to but did not have the time then and I forgot) for unexpected input and neither did anyone else, or am I wrong? regards, scs
