:3) Why does it only happen in SMP?

I'm sure the answer to #3 is simply that the startup order winds up
being different w/SMP due to there being two cpu's.
I've had the X/keyboard/getty problem occur on UP machines and, in fact
one of my first UP machines had this race condition unknowingly and
*never* had a failure, but the same configuration on a faster UP box a
little later led to the getty winning the race and I spent a few hours
scratching my head trying to figure out what was wrong with X :-)
