I don't think [Enter] is the cause of the problem.
I think there's an address mixup and the virtual consoles write to the "graphics buffer" instead of the "text buffer", and [Enter] just makes it easier to cause a segfault, because it moves the "writing address" a lot further.

I can reproduce the bug with the alpha 3 live cd, either by hitting enter or by writing a lot of characters without hitting enter.

If any developer wants vnc or ssh access to debug it, feel free to ping me in irc.freenode.net (e.g. in #ltsp).
