My theory is that it's a race and that it's thus timing dependent. TTY
SMP details get stressed most during a particular point during bootup,
when all the mingetty's are starting up all at once and race with each
other.

If you are lucky to not hit the bug then, then the likelyhood is much
lower later on.

It would be nice if Alan posted his TTY stress-testing code. It could
potentially make this bug bisectable.
