I've done a little more debugging, and it's even stranger than I thought.  The
console is only half missing.

What's missing is my shell prompt, and a few other things.  I can type in
commands, though.  The prompt returns, however, if I 'cd' to the root direcetory.

In addition, the 'set' command only displays some of the environment variables.
 The others produce blank lines.  Here's a sample output.

Do you have any idea what's going on?  This is just so bizarre.
