console getty uses 1.5% of CPU

[Poul-Henning Kamp]

I have two 12.2-R systems where the serial console is attached to a terminal server.

When there are no TCP connections to the terminal server, getty soaks up 1.5% of the
CPU in the kernel (sleeping in "ttyin"), ktrace shows no system calls.

When a TCP connection is made to the terminal server, which raises the modem-handshake
on the DE-9 connector, the CPU usage stops.

Anybody else seeing something like this ?
