Terminals can run programs just fine. This also occurrs when I run cpio and a couple other programs. Anyone have any clues? I have been playing around with device drivers... Can someone send me a ls -l /dev/tty* /dev/w* so I can compare the major and minor numbers to confirm that I haven't done any thing disasterous?
