Init running away

[Jonathan Biggar]

I am trying to set up our Sparcstations running 4.1 to use xdm, but I am
having a problem with init(8).  If I do not have any entries in
/etc/ttytab activated, (in particular the console), init runs away and
chews up lots of cpu, and does no zombie collection.  At this point,
reenabling the console and sending a HUP signal to init does no good.
Does anyone know of any bug patches or workarounds to fix this problem?
