Bacchus is angry about your misspelling of his name and punishes you by el cheapo vine not under 5l ;-) It's a change in the architecture independant code of the kernel which result in the kernel initializing the serial tty with the CREAD flag cleared. mingetty doesn't do a fully initialization of the terminal but getty (from getty_ps) or mgetty do, so they work. I'd consider that two bugs, one in the kernel and one in mingetty. It means a user can messup terminal settings so completly that logging off wouldn't fix things but only root intervention or reboot.
