I'm checking on it now. Here's a strace with setsid() ahead, same
problem:

close(3) = 0
mprotect(0x4000c000, 569344, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) = 0
mprotect(0x4000c000, 569344, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC) = 0
SYS_136(0, 0x1, 0x4009c02c, 0xbffff77c, 0xbffff774) = 0
getpid() = 6
setsid() = 6
open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
fcntl(3, F_GETFL) = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)
fcntl(3, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0
dup2(3, 0) = 0
dup2(3, 1) = 1
dup2(3, 2) = 2
ioctl(3, TIOCSCTTY) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
brk(0) = 0x8049fdc
brk(0x804a02c) = 0x804a02c
brk(0x804b000) = 0x804b000

Cheers,
