replying to my own post.  Still need help but at least I realized that
the problem is actually with the new getty (i think)... after the
"logout/exit" hangs for a while I will get a "ID 5: getty respawning too
fast stopping for 5 minutes" type of message.  If I mark the tty in
question "off" in inittab and run telinit q as root, then make it
"respawn" again and rerun telinit q - I often, but not always, get a
login back.  I get the "stall" no matter what user logs out, but it is
much worse on the console I use to startx.. I background X and logout,
this is the one that hangs irreparably.  

Still need help,
