There must be some blocking / dead-locking (?) problem in `term`.

Now open a new screen window, or login shell, or...
# ps -Af | tail

root 16555 128 co 0:00.01 tail
`bash` is started (on `p6`), but newer makes it to the shell promt; doesn't
even start to execute `.bash_profile` / `.bashrc`. The next shell started, on
the next available pseudoterminal, will work without problems.
The `term` on `p6` has already been running before:
# ps -Af | grep [t]typ6
root 6871 3 - 5:45.86 /hurd/term /dev/ptyp6 pty-master /dev/ttyp6
In this situation, `w` will sometimes report erroneous values for *IDLE*
for the process using that terminal.
Killed that `term` instance, and things were fine again.
All this reproducible happens while running the [[GDB testsuite|gdb]].
---
Have a freshly started shell blocking on such a `term` instance.

The very same behavior is still observable as of 2011-03-24.
Next: rebooted; on console started root shell, screen, a few spare windows; as
user started GDB test suite, noticed the PTY it's using; in a root shell
started GDB (the system one, for `.debug` stuff) on `/hurd/term`, `set
noninvasive on`, attach to the *term* that GDB is using.

# Formal Verification
This issue may be a simple programming error, or it may be more complicated.
Methods of [[formal_verification]] should be applied to confirm that there is
no error in `/hurd/term`'s logic itself. There are tools for formal
verification/[[code_analysis]] that can likely help here.
There is a [[!FF_project 277]][[!tag bounty]] on this task.
