I posted recently that I was having trouble with console lockups while
running X. This problem was a combination of "I'm a stupid" and a minor
bug in syscons.c.
I'd recompiled my kernel with MAXCONS set to to 4, to save a few bytes of
memory and left xdm getty'd to ttyv4 - duh. Only, the bloody thing
ran - for a while, until it had tiptoed thru enuf memory ...
Would someone kindly commit this patch so others don't fall in the same
hole? I believe pcvt has the same bug, but haven't looked at it.
