[comp.sys.apollo] problem with init/getty growing in bounds

It is good to hear that the last person who asked about this problem
could fix it by simply modifying /etc/ttys. However, some
people are not so lucky, and are faced with creeping death on
machines that have their sio lines in use.

I have made a few simple changes to getty that I will describe
to anyone who asks. Anyone with a Unix source license who makes
the changes to getty will not see this problem reappear, or will
at least slow it down to the point where it no longer damages your
node.
