Issue

Maybe this was fixed in 5.0, but in both 4.1 & 4.2, if you initially boot to 
single use via "linix single", then do "init 3", the VC that had the 
single user login on it is screwed. You can ype, but pressing 
enter generates "^M" not a carriage return. You can login on another 
VC but even if you kill the getty on the bad VC, ENTER still 
doesn't work. No problems when booting multiuser normally. Any 
ideas?
