crw--w--w-    1 root     tty        5,   1 Jun 11 22:49 console
crw--w--w-    1 root     root       4,  64 Jun 11 23:32 /dev/ttyS0
crw--w--w-    1 root     tty        4,   0 Jun 11 22:49 /dev/tty0

Tried changing ttyS0 to be owned by group tty but made no difference.
Which as a side not both stock debian 2.2.15 and my own 2.2.16 exhibit
the same problems.
