Okay, from looking at the source, stderr of the reactivate process
should have been /dev/console. So either:
* Output to /dev/console is blocking because nothing is
reading it (but something has it TIOCCONSd so it isn't going
to the screen), or
* For some reason the stderr of the reactivate process was not
actually /dev/console.
If anyone sees this again, please try doing an su to root and echoing
something to /dev/console. I'm interested to know whether the echo
process hangs or not and whether the output appears in the console
window or not.
