Congratulations!  You've hit the infamous "adb bug" (caused by the fact
that Apple put the serial interrupts as low man on the totem pole and they
occasionally get missed).

The thing to do (mentioned in various places) is as soon as you log in,
run 'dt'.  Other options are 'screen' or 'X'.  I've not tried screen, but
dt and X work for me.  None of these are in the standard distribution.
However, pointers to them are abundant.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
