FWIW,  I think there is generally some badness in the console code.

I built my current kernel natively on a serial console,  and the box
would hang every few files.  After I did make >& /dev/null,  the
hangs stopped altogether.

Now that I've got a password file,  I can actually ssh in,  so I don't
care about the console all that much ;)
