Bug Description
Pressing Alt+SysRq+K (SAK, kill processes on this VT) on VT1 attempts to kill init, thereby panicing the kernel.
init should probably be excluded from SAK killing, as should any core system daemons (udev, etc.) which may or may not retain some association with vt1 (I can't tell, since the kernel panics :-))

This is rather odd... this happens reproducably on my ThinkPad Z61p, but not on my Aspire One.
