I've tried this every time I've seen it reported, and nothing ever
freezes, or crashes. Same just now.

But I do remember reading at one time that there's "something
different" about VC1 from the other consoles, and this change
was suggested as a possible workaround.

Whether it worked? No idea.
Whether the suggester (in the past) had had the same problem? No idea.
Does it have any effect? Not here, but then, I don't have the problem.
(Apart from the effect of a lot of 2s instead of 1s in the logs.
Oh, and a spent tty3 hanging around. I thought someone recently
posted that they got tidied up, but I've never seen that happen here.)

Disclaimers:
I run stretch. The OP's kernels look much newer.
I don't run a DE, just fvwm. Does the OP?
I know I've run two X sessions, but can't remember if I used the same
user. Is the OP running two sessions, or just one X and some VCs?
I don't claim to understand all the output posted here,
especially the last paragraph.

Cheers,
David.
