One thing you might check is the integrity of your pseudo ports. At one
time I had a version of vn that left the port it attatched to corrupted.
An obvious indication that the port was hosed was that the vt100 emulator
hung in one of the "create" (could have been vte_$create) routines as it
tried to acquire the port. An /etc/mkdev is worth trying.
