    Not writing to the tty, but producing input for the tty. Are you
    using evdev or the legacy kbd driver? 0x1c is the keycode of the enter
    key, maybe your workload happens to restart the keyboard driver, which
    temporarily re-enables signal keys.

    Or maybe it's on another tty, do you have anything beyond /dev/mem,
    /dev/null, /dev/tty7, /dev/agpgart and /dev/dri/card* in
    lsof -p $(pidof Xorg) | grep CHR
    ?
