Sounds like a problem with respawning.  Unfortunately, I don't have
FC9 installed.  However, this is what I tried using Ubuntu 8.04:

- loged in to tty1 then loged out
- loged in to tty2
- typed 'ps faux | grep -w tty[1-2]'

root     20801  0.0  0.0   6928  2604 tty2     Ss   11:24   0:00
/bin/login --
rwcitek  20832  0.0  0.0   5036  2404 tty2     S+   11:24   0:00  \_ -bash
root     20822  0.0  0.0   1716   508 tty1     Ss+  11:24   0:00
/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

- typed 'grep -w tty[1-2] /var/log/syslog | tail'

Jul 26 11:16:47 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:17:14 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:18:16 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:18:17 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:20:05 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:24:30 Ubuntu804 init: tty2 main process ended, respawning
Jul 26 11:24:39 Ubuntu804 init: tty1 main process ended, respawning


There may be a similar method in FC9.  I would suspect that if tty1 is
not respawning it would show up in the process table and in the logs.

Regards,
Robert
