I have a modem on the serial port of my PI and find that sometimes users
hang up without logging off.  Is there a way to get the PI to kill the
login process when the line is disconnected?

This has only happened twice, so I don't know whether it is related, but
on both occasions I found the console displaying the message:
core file access error
and on one occasion this was followed by about 100 lines of:
bufcall: could not allocate stream event
Neither message tells me very much!

This is on a 4D/25 running 3.3.1.
