A known problem with the IOC3 network driver. For some reason in 99% of
cases it fails to reinitialize the driver after it receives such a RX
overflow interrupt.

Maybe /etc/securetty? I normally use telnet and haven't noticed any
problems.
We got another fairly bad problem with the kernel. It seems that it's
leaking filedescriptors. Even when I kill all processes except init and
my last shell I occasionally can't remount / read-only resulting in a
fsck on reboot. I would suspect that this happens somewhere in the binary
compatibility code.
Oh, and I verified that the recent console changes broke /dev/console.
