After rebooting my system just now, I noticed that strange things were
going on.. new telnet connections weren't being accepted, I couldn't su to
root, etc. As soon as I hit 'scroll-lock' on the first VC everything
resumed back to normal! Why should scroll-lock behavior on one terminal
affect the rest of the system? I dont see this as a good thing.
