Why?  I call it a bug.	I think I remember SCO kinda documenting it and
saying "don't do that".  You don't have to reboot though.  What I do (it
sure is tempting to switch to another screen while waiting isn't it?) is
log on via a serial port and kill vpix with 'kill -1 PS_ID' where PS_ID
is obtained with 'ps -ae'.
