Unable to initialize fd 0 for /dev/tty1

[Ryan Johnson <ryanjohn at ece dot cmu dot edu>]

 Hi all,

The last couple days I've gotten some really strange errors. Sometimes 
I'll alt-tab to an xterm window and start typing, only to have it 
disappear at the first keystroke. Sometimes `emacs -nw' will get hit 
instead, leaving both emacs and the xterm pretty much unusable. I 
haven't been able to get a stack trace from any of those, but tkdiff was 
kind enough to print this error instead of just going away:
> diff failed:

Has anyone seen this before? It happens just often enough to be really 
annoying... I tried rebooting but to no avail.

Thanks,
Ryan
