You're welcome. I'm pleased if I can help.

What kind of crash are you expecting? Are you expecting the whole system to
be down?

I ran a lot of them and I could switch back and forth from vt1 to vt7. Nothing
crashed at all.

BTW, Looking at the strace output, the problem could come from signal usage,
like you said.

I hope this helps.
