fault-injection systems are "fake" and for many issues in the
tty/console layer, we really do not care about them as they the failures
can never be triggered in real life.
Are you sure this is not such a issue?
Try to fix this up by adding the needed "error handling" to the place
where the fault injection was causing the failure, and see if that
really is realistic or not.
good luck!
