My inability to login did not occur immediately but only after DL had 
been running for some days or weeks. My /var/log/messages shows things like:

Oct 20 16:04:55 src@me login[8918]: pam_unix(login:session): session 
opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0)
Oct 20 16:04:55 src@me login[12927]: ROOT LOGIN  on 'tty1'
Oct 20 16:07:31 src@me login[8918]: pam_unix(login:session): session 
closed for user root

The last line is me doing CTRL+C, I think. So it looks to me as if login 
proceeded okay; I guess it is whatever daemon responds to a login (after 
a login has succeeded) that is failing (agetty?)

But I am trying your workaround, thanks Serge - definitely one I would 
never have thought of!
