passwd(1), while started on telnetd-simulated /dev/cons (via ssh),
gets killed for writing on closed pipe after "Confirm:" message. I
think it is because of close()/open() race in
/sys/src/cmd/ip/telnetd.c:/^conssim/+/open/+/consctl/.
Readln opens and closes consctl, and when two readln calls are made,
next open may be attempted before the daemon reopens of its end of the
simulated consctl.
A fast workaround is injection of sleep(100) between readln calls in
/sys/src/cmd/auth/passwd.c:102.
Suggestions for the proper fix?
