We have seen simliar behavior under Ultrix 2.0-1.  A user will get
disconnected, and then his/her active process will run wild trying to
read from the tty.  We've seen mail, emacs, and others all do this.
We also see peoples lines not drop (modem lines) when they log out,
which might be a related problem.
