Unbelievable; that fixes it completely!  :)

What on earth could be causing this? A race condition in the tty driver
at the kernel level? Something like that?

It never happened to me on this box with LinuxPPC 2000, but granted, a lot
of code (both userspace and kernel) has changed since then.

Overall, I'm very pleased with Mandrake/PPC. Besides the little troubles
like this, it's been a very pleasant experience. Keep up the great work,
guys!
