I've recently switched back to using syscons after successfully
running pcvt for several months and have noticed something strange.

Sometimes when I quit X and type anything at the console, any keys
that I press seem to be read as if I were holding the control key
down, eg if I press 'p', the last command I typed appears at the
prompt, pressing 'l' clears the screen and 'd' logs me out!

This doesn't seem to happen if I type commands at another virtual
terminal where I am logged in as myself - in fact, switching from the
console to such a vty seems to clear the condition.

It seems to happen intermittently - like all the best bugs, it usually
only occurs when I'm not looking for it 8-)

BTW I've seen this with both sh and bash as the root login shell.
