We had an instance of the Console locking up-- A user accidentally hit the spacebar on the console. The console message buffer filled up, preventing it from functioning. An additional problem was that a DTC was physically reset and could not send its message to the console, preventing anyone connected to that DTC from logging on. A ctl-shift-reset fixed the console, but it still took a while to process the messages.
