Subject: Question on /sys/class/tty/tty0/active

Hi!

I'm booting 3.6-rc6 using KVM and observe the following output:
$ tty
/dev/tty0
$ cat /sys/class/tty/tty0/active
tty1

Why does the active file say I'm on tty1?
There is no tty1, I'm on tty0.
(Also "who" reports tty0)

It looks like fg_console in vt.c has a bad value...
