From the 7.2 System Release notes
(/mit/info/Release.dir/Release72.system.PS):
A bug exists that prevents console logsin from working reliably on
VAX workstations. Sometimes the user name is not echoed to the screen
and is read incorrectly. For some reason, terminal characteristics
are set incorrectly on shutdown of X. If this happens, depress and
release the CONTROL key. (The system believes that thekey is still
pressed when the X server begins to shutdown after the user types
CTRL-P.)
