Thanks to Jos Vermaseren <t68@nikhef.nl> for passing along the solution to
my problem with getty hogging cpu.  The solution is quite simple:

login as root, or su
vi /etc/ttys
edit the file and:
turn off ttyb (or ttya)
turn on ttydb (or ttyda)
save the new file
then type:
kill -1 1             

Those of you who have terminals hanging off your machine might want
to double-check you aren't wasting CPU!!
