[comp.sys.alliant] ioctl errors annoyingly logged on console

ric@ace.sri.com (Richard Steinberger) (12/11/90)

For as long as I can remember, we have seen messages like the following:

ip01> xmv(0x6fed00, 0): ioctl cnt low (-1.) line 9

on our console.  I realize that they result from anomalous electrical
conditions on one or more of the terminal lines, perhaps becuase
someone didn't login out properly.  

What I really want is for these messages to disappear (period).  I thought
that upgrading to 5.6.0 might help, but alas, no.  Does anyone
have any suggestions for making these annoying messages go away?
At the moment, we can't even leave our console printer on because 
of them.  
	
	Please don't tell me to correct the terminal line floating
voltage.  In our environment, this is a near impossibility.  Seems to me
there *must* be a way to obliterate these messages.

	Thanks to all who reply.
