I have four modems on com1,2,3,4 (tty00,01,02,03)

I just upgraded from NetBSD 1.0 to 1.1 i386.  When I connect on   
/dev/tty00 I get prompted for an username and password.  As soon as I   
type in  the password, the line hangs up.  All of the other lines work   
just fine.

Both /etc/ttys and /etc/gettytab are setup correctly.

I checked ps max and can see login being launched, so something weird is   
going on.  Everything worked under 1.0.

(no X-Windows on this machine)
