PIO_FONT problems with 2.1.107

When trying to use SVGATextmode under 2.1.107, the console font gets badly
scrambled (and totally unreadable).

The error produced by STM is:

Chipset = `S3', Textmode clock = 28.30 MHz, 80x25 chars, CharCell = 9x16.
Refresh = 31.44kHz/70.0Hz.
PIO_FONTX ioctl error (trying PIO_FONT): Function not implemented
PIO_FONT ioctl error: Function not implemented

I looked at the kb.h header files and the values seem not to have changed
any. A recompilation of stm didn't have any noticable effect.

2.1.106 (which I currently run) works fine.

As always, any additional information is available upon request (as long
as you include _how_ :)

TIA!
