Description
When using vntsd from snv_79 or snv_80, the console is sometimes messed up.
The problem can be exposed with the format(1m) command:

# uname -a
SunOS dt90-447 5.11 snv_80 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

# tty
/dev/console

# format /dev/rdsk/c0d4s0
selecting /dev/rdsk/c0d4s0
[disk formatted, no defect list found]


FORMAT MENU:
        disk       - select a disk
        type       - select (define) a disk type
        partition  - select (define) a partition table
        current    - describe the current disk
        format     - format and analyze the disk
        repair     - repair a defective sector
        show       - translate a disk address
        label      - write label to the disk
        analyze    - surface analysis
        defect     - defect list management
        backup     - search for backup labels
        verify     - read and display labels
        save       - save new disk/partition definitions
        volname    - set 8-character volume name
        !<cmd>     - execute <cmd>, then return
        quit
format> verify
format>

The "verify" command does not provide any output, while the same command
run fine from a ssh connexion to the same host:

# uname -a
SunOS dt90-447 5.11 snv_80 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

# tty
/dev/pts/1

# format /dev/rdsk/c0d4s0
selecting /dev/rdsk/c0d4s0
