Maybe I mis-understood the original problem. There's no difference between=

a pty under an xterm and under a text console. Or there shouldn't be. I=20
assumed they did something like run the program via X in such a manner=20

If the original comment was meant to be it was run via an xterm, then I=20
bet the problem was that the X server (or window manager or xterm) didn't=

deal with the resource exhaustion stemming from the forks.
