This is being worked on via Bugzilla # 824458 - iucvconn disconnects after 
entering a username.  There was a change to the behavior of the login command 
due to a prior bug (# 778842) which affected the hvc_iucv driver.  A patch has 
been submitted by IBM to the Linux Kernel Mailing List for comments so 
hopefully a fix will become available before too long.

In the meantime, during my testing of the problem, I determined that when the 
initial disconnect happens (when the userid is entered), the login process is 
still running, waiting for the response to the password prompt (which the user 
doesn't see because of the disconnect).  When you reconnect, if you type in the 
password (which will not be displayed) and hit enter, you'll be logged in.
