I (qjb) just logged out of soup. Instead of the usual thing happening which
is that the X server dies and is restarted immediately, the X server died
and didn't restart right away. Instead, I just had a cursor on the (real)
console. If I hit CTRL-C to that cursor, the X server would start up again
and the console (X) would say
console: error 13 opening /usr/tmp/console.log
Well, error 13 is EACCESS. /usr/tmp/console.log at that time was
owned by nobody and was mode 644 (or something that looked appropriate), but
I assume that this file had at that point been freshly created by
the console program.... Of course, I probably don't know what I'm talking
about :-)
Anyway, this seems to be a bit strange. I don't know whether it was relevant
that another user was logged in remotely at the time.
