Hmm.  Our console logger seems to not print messages on the console while 
/dev/klog is open, is that right?  (This probably would prevent the 
"syslogd died signal 11 message on the console since it would be sent to 
syslogd's open file handle that had not yet closed on exit).  I wonder if 
we should put in a defensive catcher for the common fatal signals 
(SEGV,BUS) that does a bare bones log and exit?
