I don't think it's quite this simple. In my humble opinion setgetty has a
screw or two loose, even if you never touch inittab. Who wouldn't occasionally
make the mistake:
getoff.sh tty000
instead of what you're supposed to type, which is:
getoff.sh 000
When you make this mistake setgetty seems to hang. I frankly can't think of
any good excuse for this! (Let's see now, they have six legs, a head, thorax
and abdomen, entomologists enjoy them immensely ...)
