Any ideas?  I'm not sure what can be done and this happens with things like sudo as well (if it can't log, you can't authenticate).
Comment 3 Fabian Deutsch 2013-10-01 11:30:50 UTC 
We could directly drop to the rescue shell when we note that logging doesn't work.
Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2013-10-09 10:56:10 UTC 
Closing this because neither I nor huiwa could reproduce the TUI crash with rhevh-6.5-20130930.0.auto665.el6.
