Is there any good reason why getty (4.1BSD) doesn't set CRMOD until
just before it forks login?  Life would be a lot easier for daemons
that want to write to the console if CRMOD was set in both the
"iflags" and "fflags".  If this has some real value, perhaps only
the console (type "4") could be changed.

Can anyone explain this?
