Problem with klogind/kshd

[Tim Gaastra]

One confirmed problem: crashing in login.krb5

Because of:
Src/appl/bsd/login.c
Line 1193: strncpy(term, getenv("TERM"), sizeof(term));

Apparently, there have been issues with strncpy and alignment problems
with the IA64 in the past...

The current kludgey fix has been to make a pointer, assign the getenv to
it, strlen the pointer, assign that to a size_t, and then call the
strncpy as strncpy(term,<pointer>,<size_t>);

This got us past THAT problem, but there are more, mostly likely of the
same.

Run strace on all the involved processes; see where things are hanging.
