mgetty bug fix update

Updated mgetty packages that fix several bugs are now available.

The mgetty packages contain a "smart" getty, which allows logins over a
serial line, such as through a modem. If you are using a Class 2 or Class
2.0 modem, mgetty can receive faxes. The mgetty-sendfax package is required
to send faxes.

These updated packages fix the followings bugs:

* mgetty was unable to handle large files, for example, larger than 2GB. On
32-bit platforms, large files were truncated. In these updated packages,
mgetty no longer truncates large files.

* when the modem was turned off, the kernel blocked the mgetty process, and
tried to write unwritten data to the modem device. The process could not be
killed, and the system had to be forcefully shutdown, which could have
caused file system corruption. A "umount: /var: device is busy" error may
have occurred. In these updated packages, a tcflush is performed before
exit, which resolves this issue.

Users of mgetty are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
