Yes, It seems reproducible.  I have two systems running cooker at the
moment.  One is a laptop.  From there, it seems less insane, but still
very odd.  It is as though there are two shells running from the same
console terminal, and they fight over the input buffer.  That much is
the same for both machines.  "reset" did not seem to help.  I have this
for both machines:

{root@localhost root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
KEYTABLE=us

The second machine is running an older kernel (2.4.18-16) that I have
hand-merged the ACPI patches into (needed for the sound subsystem on
that laptop)  The big machine is running the current enterprise kernel

I tried waiting for several minutes, thinking that perhaps the system
was in a limbo-state between runlevels, but the console was still
insane after some minutes.  Using "shutdown now" seems to provide better
results (!?  Don't they mean the same thing: "telinit S" and 
"shutdown now" ?!) because the init scripts run, but the console still
behaves as though two shells are vying for control.  I'm not even sure
what kind of diagnostic tests to run to gather more information.  As it
stands, if I need single user mode, I reboot, and tell lilo.
