Can you debug the open(), chown(), and chmod() of the tty
to see what happens (any errors?).

Also, I think konsole forks().  There may be something
we're (libkse) not doing to properly handle a fork
from a multi-threaded process (or something konsole
expects that isn't necessarily true).  Can you run
konsole so it doesn't fork?
