And I'm running (on this machine) the Xaccel server with a JPN Crystalspeed
Mach8.

/etc/ttys:
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv4   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv5   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv6   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on secure
ttyv7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off secure
# Serial terminals
ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600"  dialup on

I don't know yet how to repeat the behaviour but it may have happened
during console switching.
