[Bug 398388] [NEW] rc-scripts termput handling broken when on serial console

[Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz]

Public bug reported:


When using rc-scripts over a serial console (additionally this is via ipmi)
I get errors on console. It was introduced after some changes by glen in that area
few months ago I think. Unfortunately I don't know which change exactly.
