On the assumption that this is more than a local problem...

System: Sun 4/300 running SunOS 4.1.3_U1 with serial console on ttya.
System is original GENERIC kernel - nothing modloaded, clean as a whistle.

Put a serial terminal on ttyd and enable it.

Method 1: Login as root on ttyd.  *THUD*

Method 2: Type anything on ttyd.  Type anything on console.  *THUD*

I don't observe it with 4.1.2 on a similar system.
