If that happens, a) report it! SUM is a very important part of FreeBSD,
and it needs to always work.

b) There were problems after the cons25 -> xterm conversion that have
almost all been fixed nowadays

c) Try using a simpler shell, like /bin/sh, or even /rescue/sh

d) Obviously don't try to do SUM with a shell that is not compiled static
