Seen on linux-image-4.15.0-44-generic and linux-image-4.15.0-45-generic.

When /bin/login is exec'd by agetty it tries to read stdin and gets
EAGAIN:

    5640  write(2, "Password: ", 10)        = 10
    5640  read(0, 0x7ffcca86a7f0, 511)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
    ...
    55640  write(2, "\n", 1)                 = 1

taking that as a failed login attempt it tries again:

    55640  write(2, "hilbert login: ", 15)   = 15
    55640  read(0, 0x7ffcca86a160, 511)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)

eventually logging a failed login attempt

reverting to linux-image-4.15.0-43-generic also fixes the problem
