How about log-messages on the console?

The symptom I am struggling with is my console is freezing when journald 
sent a message to the console.

Some weeks ago, I reported the details on some fp.org list (IRC users@), 
but never received a satisfactory reply. So far, after weeks of 
struggling my (so far seeingly working) work-around is to "yum remove 
rsyslogd combined with "dmsg -D", without knowing the actual cause.
