No.  And it wasn't my intention of the experiment.  I wanted to
demonstrate that the X server still searches for an empty vty even if
xdm is run in a particular vty specified in /etc/ttys.

>3)	Why does it only happen in SMP?

I explained several times.  This is a timing problem which exists in
both UP and SMP environment.  It is just that the problem reporter
observed it with the SMP kernel in his set up.
