flexfax: /etc/getty hanging on SCO 5.0.4

[Bill Campbell <bill@camco2.celestial.com>]

I have been having some problems running hylafax-v4.0pl1 on an SCO 5.0.4
system in which the /etc/getty process hangs after incoming data calls.  It
appears to be ignoring the -t60 argument which, as I understand it, is
supposed to cause /etc/getty to terminate if there isn't any modem activity
for 60 seconds.  I built HylaFax using Robert Libe's current version of gcc
on a system with the full SCO devsys installed first.

There are two MultiTech modems, a MT2834ZDX, and a MT2834ZDXB, running on
HI-IRQ COM3 and COM4 ports.  GettyArgs = "-t60 /dev/%l dx_%s" (it took me a
while to figure out that it required the /dev/%l).

The problem is that the system will run for a while normally, then
something will happen and the /etc/getty process will never die until it's
killed manually.  /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty is running out of /etc/inittab,
and it seems to help if I kill the faxgetty process to let it respawn (but
this may be my imagination).

Is there a known problem with the SCO /etc/getty in that it doesn't
actually exit after the time specified in the -t option?  Are there
other things I should be looking at?

A child can go only so far in life without potty training.  It is not
mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty
trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.
