>Description:
	login.c contains this dubious fragment:
  
    if (!hflag && !rflag && !kflag && !Kflag && !eflag) {       /* XXX */
        static struct winsize win = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

        (void)ioctl(0, TIOCSWINSZ, (char *)&win);
    }

	which has no apparent purpose other than to confuse the tty
	driver about the size of the screen. In particular, if you
	have login.krb5 as the getty-invoked login (as on an Athena
	machine) and are running NetBSD with the new wscons code,
	you'll lose in a variety of obnoxious ways until you run
	stty or resize to fix your tty settings.

	This code (including the /* XXX */) seems to have come
	originally from the 4.3BSD login source. It's not there in the
	4.4BSD source.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	I nuked that code and everything seems to work fine...
