I'll see if I can reproduce this over the weekend on an old single-core
laptop I still have.

There were some race conditions in the N_TTY line discipline which I
recently fixed. Those changes are in linux-next. Can you test if this is
reproducible on linux-next?

Assuming I don't reproduce this on the laptop, the only other
explanation I can think of right now is that ARCLinux is not properly
handling signal-driven i/o (assuming the BusyBox /bin/sh uses SIGIO). Do
you know if there is anything special about the way ARCLinux handle
signals?

Peter Hurley
