OK, getting closer.  Looks like the perms on /dev/ptys* were horked 
badly.   chmod 666 /dev/ptys*  fixed it, but now i'm getting
aterm: can't open slave tty /dev/ttys0
when trying to start an aterm, and:
xterm: Error 18, errno 13: Permission denied
Reason: spawn: open() failed on ptsname

when trying to spawn an xterm.  this is RH9, there is no devfs (which 
seems to be the most common cause of this problem).  any takers?
