That's sort of strange to me. I have recently upgraded to 1.3.3 myself
and also with the ELF patches. However my getty seems to work fine. I
did originally have some trouble caused by my bash seg faulting after the
upgrade. Which means that my rc scripts did not work. :)
All I did was recompile bash and it worked fine thereafter. I also noted
that my binary for the "file" command had the same troubles but was fine
after recompiling. I am using getty-ps and it seems to be working just
fine.
