>Description:
Added this to the end of /etc/ttys:

  ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty dial.115200" unknown on insecure

This was unrecognized when a 'kill -HUP 1' was subsequently done.
The problem turns out to occur only when the last line of the file
(the line above) is not newline terminated.  Adding the newline
made the problem go away.
