Shouldn't the console line read:

   console "/etc/athena/toehold ttyv0"  ansi  on secure     #toehold

instead of:

   console "/etc/athena/toehold ttyv0"  vt100  on secure     #toehold

Things seem to work better with it set to "ansi" (Mark Eichin added
the support about a year ago).

Was this change to /etc/ttys backed-out or overlooked?  I don't
remember...  If it was backed-out, why?  (Emacs at least runs
correctly if the term-type is set to ansi).
