If a process has /dev/console open and it does not die, ie. a df in an
xterm -C window with an NFS server down... a shutdown to single user
mode will cause init to be displaying output to essentially /dev/null.
Fix: Add a couple of ioctl(x, TIOCCONS, 0) statements to
/paris/source/4.3/etc/init/init.c. "x" is different in the two cases
that have to be accounted for...
Anyway, this bug report is just for posterity as it has already been
fixed in 6.1C.
