If I start up zgv in one VC, and have slrn in another, and switch between
them quickly, the svgalib screen will return to a blank text screen, but
using the key to exit zgv will cause zgv to exit. slrn has to refresh
its screen, but then it is viewable.

This is with kernel 2.0.0pl2, a unofficial kernel, with the following
changes:

gcc 2.7.2p optimizations in makefile
printk buffers reduced by one half
pentium memcpy()
faster irq code
fixed loopback device
