I don't think this is a 1.3.x bug. The exact same sort of thing happens on my 1.2.13 boxes occasionally. The only way I've found to fix it without rebooting is to kill that login process and then grab that tty with the program "screen". The screen on that tty will be frozen...but you can send an x-on (control-a q), and it is fixed.
I'd love a less interactive way to fix it. or keep it from happening at all. It's a real pain for people who rlogin to the server from the terminal server, as they get hung up on after their rlogin times out.
It can happen to any tty, after hours or weeks of uptime. Cat'ing things to tty, rm'ing and mknod'ing the tty, etc. don't help.
