Today I came back to my computer and realised I'd left ttyv0 in history/scrollback mode, with scroll-lock enabled. To see what would happen I pressed Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot and was surprised to see that it seemed to get partway through the process but it never rebooted: the other ttys were killed and I could still break into the debugger but otherwise the system was unresponsive. Trying to repeat it after rebooting I ended up with a system that won't even break into the debugger. Is this expected? -- Bruce Cran
