afterstep locking?



Sometimes when I modify my .steprc, afterstep will lock my screen.  I
can't use ctrl-alt-del to kill it either.  When I rsh in remotely, I don't
have any other processes running, besides my shell.  Some weird things
about it:

bash-2.00#  w
  8:43pm  up 5 days,  5:27h,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER      TTY    LOGIN@  IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
dpk      ttyp0   8:40pm   0:01   0:00   0:00 w

bash-2.00# who
dpk      ttyp2    Jul  8 20:31 (:0.0)
dpk      ttyp0    Jul  8 20:40 (my.other.machine)

With who, I am still seen as logged in on console, with 'w', I am not.
Also I noticed the terminal was reset:

  155   2 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty2 
  156   3 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty3 
  157   4 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty4 
  158   5 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty5 
  159   6 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty6 
16825   1 S      0:00 /sbin/getty 38400 tty1  <-- high process number

Is there a way to fix this problem without having to reboot my machine?  I
have tried killing all my user processes, ctrl-alt-del, alt-f2-f6 to try
to get another terminal... while console still remains frozen.
