This is an annoying bug, I hope it's been fixed in 3.0.

Also, has anyone else had problems changing the mode on their tty?
Sometimes when I'm on the console and I open up multiple terminal
windows, the one that goes with ttyp2 sometimes balks at the "mesg n"
in my login script, complaining that I don't own the tty so I can't
change it's mode.

I've had this happen under different terminals so I don't think the
terminal program I'm using is at fault.

It's very weird in that it doesn't happen all the time, or with any
pattern that I've noticed.  I thought that if the tty worked once, it
would work all the time, for anyone as it should.
