 regarding the release of the controlling terminal to re-enable more than
just one login on a tty doesn't work for me. On my machine, it's best to use
entropy's code with the '#if 1'. Nervously enough, I've never seen the
mentioned pipe problems. But then, as you know, my machine tends to behave
somehow weird sometimes... ;-)
