I asked my sole Linux 6.2 client (who is having the crash) to confirm if
his /etc/issue is > 127 bytes and if this could be his crash cause. He
said:
It is likely, as I usually add additional information to the /etc/issue
file and its 607 bytes.
I will test at my next opportunity.
That is a very odd problem.
Will let you know more when he responds.
