Command respawning too rapidly

I have an SCO OSE 5.0.6 with serial and TCP/IP connections. Suddenly today, the serial connections quit working. A user was logged on, but when she logged off she didn't get a login prompt. When I tried to display status with a ps -ft on the serial ports that failed, I got no status back. I tried to disable/re-enable ports, still no getty running and no status returned on ps -ft. I tried to reboot system, now I get an error on the system console terminals and serial ports that says:

INIT: Command respawning too rapidly. Check for errors.
co: /etc/getty/tty01 sc.m

I am still able to log on to the system with TCP/IP using ICE TCP. I have disabled all serial and console ports except for the tty01 thru tty03, but still get the above error on them. Any ideas what happened or how to fix this? My /etc/inittabs looks ok as near as I can tell. I also tried to boot unix.old, but get the same error.
