I'm still working on the shell scripts. Hope to have something
working soon. The fact that vgetty reinitializes after calling the
shell program is interesting. Looking at the logfile, I can see that
the voice signal handlers are not installed, so mgetty gets the pipe
signal and exits, because mgetty does not define a signal handler for
SIGPIPE and the default action is to terminate the current process.
Logfiles are really a good thing. :-)

Anyway: Congratulations! You have found a bug in the new vgetty code.
It will be fixed in the next vgetty release.

Thanks,
Marc
