Description Peter Jeremy 1999-07-23 05:20:00 UTC 
	If init is unable to parse the getty or window command line, it
	doesn't free the memory it allocated to contain the argv pointers
	(allocated at 1 more than half the length of the command line).

How-To-Repeat: 
	Found by code inspection.

	An /etc/ttys containing the following line:
tty99 "                                                              " cons25 on secure
	should leak 128 bytes on every SIGHUP.  Enough similar lines and
	enough SIGHUPs show a detectable increase in process size.
