>Environment:

	Current as of 5 december

>Description:

	syslogd won't log any messages to /dev/ttyv* devices. This
	happens on two machines that had working syslogd's and did
	a make world with recent currents (both 5 december or later).
	Since I can't switch to the virtual console too, I think it's
	not even opened for writing

>How-To-Repeat:

	put something in /etc/syslogd.conf that logs to
	/dev/ttyvsomething and see if it logs or opens the device

>Fix:
