Hi all,

these days I've tried out to use chvt to change foreground virtual terminal 
via shell script, but nothing was working. I find out, that there is an error 
at my target caused by chvt. see below:

~ # chvt 5
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Bad file descriptor
~ # _

Hm, I don't know about this message, because the same busybox binary is 
working fine at my RedHat 7.1 host system. Here my environment:

at target:
  x86, busybox-0.60.5, glibc-2.1.3, kernel-2.2.19

at host:
  the same busybox binary but dynamic linked agains Red Hats
  glibc-2.2.2, kernel-2.4.9-21 (by Red Hat)


The main difference I will see is the Libc and Kernel. Is there anybody how 
knows about this problem? Any help is wellcome.


Thanks
Stephan
