Problem with config_console on RS/6000

I have this in my .environment file:

if ($?XSESSION) then
        echo X session
        xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xresources
        config_console -config
	...
endif

It's in my .environment file as opposed to my .startup.X because I want the
console reconfigured as soon as possible.  This works on all platforms
everything except for RS/6000's.  RS/6000 320s go blank for a second when 
config_console is run, but don't actually reconfigure the console.  RS/6000 
220s go blank and never come back.

This is what I have in my .Xresources file relating to the console:
Console*background:             black
Console*foreground:             aquamarine
Console*window.mapped:          true
Console*window.title:           Apple ][+
Console*title.label:            Apple ][+
Console*scrollBarWindow.backgroundPixmap: /mit/edward/bitmaps/billtcat.bmp
Console*Button.highlightOnEnter: true
Console*Arrow.width:            0
Console*Arrow.height:           0
Console*scrollup.borderWidth:   0
Console*scrolldown.borderWidth: 0
Console*hideLabel.label:        Shoo!
Console*autoUnmap:              15
