Thanks to all who responded.  I must have had a mental block because I was
already doing something along those lines in my .login file.  The relevant
lines in my .logout file are now:

	if ("`tty`" == /dev/console && "$TERM" == sun) then
		clear
		screenload ~/.logoutscreen
	endif

As to the other thing I hinted about:
	cat /dev/console /dev/ttya
	^D
does not cause a bus-error panic after upgrading to SunOS-4.0.3.

Now for a new question:  How can .login and/or .cshrc determine that it
is being invoked in the "console window" under sunview?  The test of
	if (`tty` != /dev/ttyp0)
fails if anyone has rlogin'ed to my workstation.
