Kernel stack trace is not so helpful here.  The problem happens
when the VM page cache has incorrect data for a shared library
(usually libutil.so which getty uses).

I haven't made much progress on this one, sadly.

I wonder if this happens on the 3/260 now?
I've only seen it on the 3/60 lately...
