When pid 1 crashes, the getty unit for the console will happily keep running which means we end up with two shells competing for the same tty. Let's call vhangup on /dev/console to kill every other process attached to the console before we spawn the crash shell. The getty units have Restart=always but lucky for us, pid 1 just crashed in fire and flames so it isn't actually able to restart the getty unit.
