Re: Issue with console prompt

John nailed the issue earlier... just
confirmed that the parity setting was the culprit. I tried 'stty < /dev/console'
and it had 'evenp' as a setting. I issued 'stty -evenp < /dev/console'
and then checked again, and then the setting was '-parity' and the console
worked fine.

Thanks a lot for all of your help!
