Summary: xinit leaves O_NDELAY set on console

I had the same problem in both xinit and xtools (a locally modified xinit
that reads a suntools-like startup file).  The problem seems to be that
xinit is setting O_NDELAY on the console device, and leaving it in this
state when it exits.  I eliminated the problem by making sure that xinit
clears the O_NDELAY flag (from stderr, which is a hack, but a hack that
works) just before it exits.
