Exactly why trying to fix this system-specific problem
within getty itself is doomed to failure. His _system_
design is incorrect, if there's an important message
to get out before beginning to use normal sessions
(getty) on that port, then his _system_ configuration,
probably via init scripts or whatever, needs changing.
Whenever you try to fix a problem in the wrong place,
it usually breaks something else. If you're lucky,
immediately.
