I'm only assuming there is because of your weird error. I got the same
error when I manually created a file called BUGS.

/usr/lib/terminfo is the full terminfo library, but may not be
available on boot. /etc/terminfo presumably contains the console
entry. If you boot off this terminal, be sure and copy the right
terminfo entry into here.

You told me in other mail that the problem was fixed with 'stty cs7
cstopb'. I think I know what the problem is, login doing a vhangup()
when it shouldn't, but I have to think if my solution is safe. I'll
get back to you.
