Hi all,

I had a mgetty process that wouldn't go away, even with kill -9.

47567  ??  IE     0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty cuaa1

ps(1) says that "IE" means "sleeping for more than 20 seconds" and
"trying to exit". mgetty probably got angry because I ran a ppp
connection on the same serial port. mgetty's wchan was "ttywai".

Lacking clues, I finally managed to "kill" it with:

  stty sane < /dev/cuaa1

Out of curiosity, does anybody have an idea about what happened here? :)
