[SLUG] Problem with console

["Grahame M. Kelly" <gmkelly@nospam.zip.com.au>]

Hi Sluggers.

I got a problem after a PSU blow up thats a little hard to find.

After replacing PSU, and rebooting machine. I force a e2fsck and
everything is OK (node and disk wise) but if I do a "ps fax" or a
"top" the screen aborts and all I get is a bold highlighted prompt,
and doing "reset" restores the screen (x screen actually) to the
default setting. Both "ps fax" and "top" give seg fault. "ps"
alone goes OK so I suspect the problems are in the console/terminal
setups. Checking "ps fax" or "top" with strace seem to indicate it
seg faults on writing out the "pueso graphics". Ie. The tree for ps
fax.

getty and associated control seems OK, rebooting the system doesn't
remove the problem.

System is e-smith. And although I have check most things there
appears no obverious problem(s). Suggestions anyone?

Thanks Grahame
