That fixed it here.  I noticed this problem a few months ago, but never 
tracked down the source.  About the only time anyone actually logs out 
of a terminal session on this box is if I need to reboot (such as for a 
new kernel).  This is an annoyance due to causing an unclean shutdown, 
but nothing more.  My workaround had been to shut down the X session on 
vt01 first, then the other two.  But this is better.  I replaced 
clear_console with a call to reset and the problem went away.  I shut 
down my dfaughter's X session and logged her out.  My X session on vt01 
is still up and running.


Thanks for the tip, David.
