Hmm. That could also cause the problem (should even cause it much
more quickly). Mgetty uses tio_mode_raw():

 t->c_cc[VMIN] = 1;
 t->c_cc[VTIME] = 0;

That might be a problem. I will also check this, I'm not sure right now
which parts of what set TIO to what...

Hmmm. I will have to check vgetty on AIX once more, and find out whether
it works now or not.
