You read what you like into it, but don't imply that I don't care about big boxes. It's a corner case. We shouldn't muck the rest of the system up by botchfixing for a corner case. It's not a regression.
Find a clean fix for it and it's different, but the clean fix seems to be involve getting a chunk of the continuing tty into tty_port work done.
