This really should be on portmaster-users

Once upon a time Mark Salerno shaped the electrons to say...

This has existed since day one AFAIK - I first saw it in 3.1.2
It isn't considered a bug, it is an artifact of the fact that 'console' is
a logical construct in ComoS and is not tied to a telnet or serial port,
etc. So if the telnet that had console goes away console is still there,
and still spewing to the netbuf. So when some other telnet lands on it
you start seeing the output. This doesn't happen if the command is
properly terminated and console is reset. Note you can do this by
leaving a debug running, etc.
