rxvt and /dev/console



Hi,

my rxvt (2.14-1) can't open /dev/console on startup. Anybody got the same 
error? Is there a simple fix? If not, I'll file a bug-report....


dpkg -l rxvt
ii rxvt         2.14     VT100 emulator for the X window system

ll /dev/console
crw--w--w-      1 boekhold users       4,   0 May  4 15:15 /dev/console

rxvt +ls -C &
(starts up)
rxvt: can't open console
rxvt: Device or resource busy

This happens on every rxvt I start, including the first

Maarten
