After installing 4.3BSD on several VAX-750s we are having a problem
with gettys hanging.  Forcing a core dump and checking it with adb
shows that shows that the getty is hung waiting for the open of the tty
line.  Disconnecting the line (forcing a hangup) does not effect the
getty.  A kill -9 of the getty process does correct the problem.

The lines are DH (Emulex and Able) and I can see no patern in which
lines are failing.  Does anyone have a bug fix for the tty or DH
drivers?
