Remember that we are talking about running our own "special" getty on
this line.  One of the last things that this getty does after it has
validated a login and is about to exec the shell for the dial-in user is
to perform an ioctl on the device, setting HUPCL and resetting CLOCAL. 
Therefore, if CD then drops, the login shell will terminate normally.
