Hi!
I've seen this too - but only with one src checkout.
The symptoms as they are observed:
Leave the system with Xorg turned off (text mode), logout all users,
switch to ttyv0 (not sure about this) and go away. When you are back,
you see db> prompt running on the screen. This was amd64 CURRENT
with GENERIC kernel.
So, there was no user interaction (via keyboard).

Hope, this helps,
Alexey.
