:I often notice processes hanging forever on exit's ttywait when TCP
:connection dropped. Here is a patch I plan to commit which restrict
:waiting for output drain by 3 minutes. Any comments, improvements or
:objections?

I think this is a good idea. I've seen processes stuck in ttywait
forever too, usually when I'm using cu and the remote end is spewing
all sorts of junk my way.
p.s. (on a different topic) I am also seeing serial stream corruption
for serial console output. If I add a kernel printf() that generates
a lot of output, I get most of it on the serial console plus a lot
of other random garbage. Very weird.
