ok, how wonderful...  we've recursed in the tty code...  someone needs
to fix filt_ttyread so that it doesn't process characters... filt_ttyread
should be completely with out side effects, and simply return the
current state of the tty descriptor...  (filt_ttyread gets called from
places where going off and doing lots of work is not good)...

in the back trace below, it tried to process characters, which then
tried to notify kqueue again, and lock the tty lock, which doesn't work...

One easy fix is to fix ttnread to not call ttypend on calls from
filt_ttyread via a flag...

I can whip up a patch if you want to try it (and can easily reproduce)...
