I had meant to post a follow-up on this (I thought I did, I'm pretty new to
netnews and might have messed up), but Jon is apparently correct. The problem
had to do with the tty not being set up correctly. Here's my current gettydefs
line for the tty in question:

2400H# B2400 # B2400 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #\nlogin: #1200H

This line does, indeed, work correctly and I haven't had any problems since I
put this in. Thanks to those who sent help.
