[BusyBox] ctrl-c exits kills init:getty

Hi,

I recently upgraded our Embedded distro from Busybox 0.60.0 to 0.60.5.  Most
of the time now ctrl-c will kill getty when logged in through the console,
and force users to log back in again.  I noticed that after upgrading, when
the unit boots it prints out a "getty:" by itself on one line just before
getting the /etc/issue login screen.  The older version of busybox didn't do
this.  The unit will also print out "getty:" when ctrl-c is hit.  Has anyone
else had this problem?  I ruled out that it is not Tinylogin (which is
getty) since I rolled back to Tinylogin 0.80.0 and I had the same result.
(running BB 0.60.0 and Tinylogin 1.4 I don't have this problem).  I am also
using the 2.4.20 kernel.  Anyone else seen this?

Thanks for any help on this.

-Brian
