[bug] if launch fbterm from non-current virtual console，the display get mess.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If launch fbterm from current virtual console, everything is fine.

If launch fbterm from non-current virtual console，the display get mess.
1. Login into the virtual console /dev/tty5.
2. Run "sleep 3; fbterm -i fbterm_ucimf".
3. Press ALT+F2, switch to the virtual console /dev/tty2.
4. Wait a second, and the display get mess.
5. Press ALT+F5 and ALT+F2, and the display back to normal.

I try to run fbterm using /sbin/init, and find this bug.
0. Patch fbterm. (issuse 15 fbterm-1.4_run_command.patch
)
1. Change one line from /etc/inittab
"5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -I '\033(K' tty5 38400"
to
"5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -I '\033(K' tty5 38400 -n -l /bin/login.sh".
2. Create the file /bin/login.sh
cat > /bin/login.sh << eof
#!/bin/sh
export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
exec /usr/bin/fbterm -i /usr/bin/fbterm_ucimf /bin/login
eof
chmod 700 /bin/login.sh 
3. Run "init q".
4. Press ALT+F2.
5. Wait a while, and the display get mess.
6. Press ALT+F5 and ALT+F2, and the display back to normal.
After that, we can find a config file /.fbtermrc. It will be nice using a
system level config file /etc/fbterm.conf.

This patch should fix issuse 16.

Fix the file path "/.fbtermrc" to "/root/.fbtermrc" :
Add "export HOME=/root" to /bin/login.sh.
cat > /bin/login.sh << eof
#!/bin/sh
export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8
export HOME=/root
exec /usr/bin/fbterm -i /usr/bin/fbterm_ucimf /bin/login
eof

It's fine running "sleep 3; fbterm".

But I get a segfault, same as Issue 15 Comment 4.
1. run "sleep 3; fbterm -i fbterm_ucimf". OK
2. Press Ctrl_Space. OK
3. Press any key, fbterm_ucimf exit with a segfault.
