Sorry about that. I added the O_NONBLOCK to prevent init(8) from
possibly getting stuck if the TTY used by /dev/console were to misbehave
by not setting CLOCAL.

It seems we can't do this reliably at all, so I guess I'd better just
revert the code like so:

I'll commit the patch to SVN after I have discussed it wtih kib at . Thanks
for reporting!
