Cmdtool can't find terminal (Openwind

[James Peregrino]

All of a sudden today, when I start up Openwindows, neither the console
cmdtool nor any other cmdtools show up.  A look with ps shows that they
are running (and sucking 23% of the cpu a piece), but have a '?' under the
tty column.  So it seems that they cannot access the console.  Other
windows (meters, filemgr, etc) come up fine.  No problem with sunview
alone, or vanilla X11/R4.

Someone had this problem back in v9n126, but I can't find a response in
the archives.

Any suggestions?
