Now I did some more tests. It happens with 2.1.43 (2.1.42 is ok) only,
and only if you want system boot up num lock. If not, it will hang on
first setleds.

Boot your system, type sleep 5; setleds +num; ls<enter> and remove
keyboard. 2.1.43 hangs, 2.1.42 does not. (Please someone repeat it -
but happened on two machines).
