After re-making System V.2 for the ICM3216 (with minor alterations to the
2681 device-driver) I noticed that GETTY would not notice a terminal
connected to tty2 (the non-modem port nexto the console) unless it was
there when the system was booted or when GETTY was respawned. This was
not the case with the original binary, but is the case if I remake the
system as supplied (without my device driver changes).
	Does anyone know the fix for this one? It is quite anoying since
I only have one terminal (normally console), so when I get tied up there
I just have tty0. The modem port tty0 exibits the same characteristics
but it wakes up as soon as DCD is asserted. (It may have someting to
do with the fact that asserting DCD interrupts the processor. This is 
not available on tty2 or console).
	PS shows the terminal for the getty as '?'.
	Once a terminal is connected to tty2 and getty killed, the new
getty is quite happy.
