As I said in my private reply, I decided to compile the kernels with debugging 
off and strip them.

I made the serial device start using pts ttys rather than /dev/pty*, so this 
can't happen again.  The downside is that minicom refuses to connect to it.  
It won't deal with anything except /dev/pty??.  xterm looks like it has the 
same mentality.  I didn't want to lose the virtual consoles, so I didn't 
convert the console driver to pts.

I thought I just needed to configure in the zero device.  It turns out that 
one of my basic user data access was broken.

This stuff will be in the next release.
