>Description:
Restarted my machine, it came to a logon, tried to logon as root.  After entering the root name I pressed enter and the next line was a blank line.  Expected a prompt for a password but instead it was a blank line with no cursor.  I could CTRL-C and get back to a logon prompt but thats as far as it gets.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

This is a question for -questions or -stable, not for the PR system.  Sounds 
to me like getty(8) had trouble spawning login(1), possibly due to high 
system load, possibly caused by userland daemons starting up.
