Is this before or after my tty changes ?

There is a general nastyness about ttys/sessions/exit which I have
never really felt comfortable about.  My hope is that I have solved
it by refcounting the tty structure.

So if this is before my changes:  "Yeah, known (but rare) issue)"

If after my changes: "D**N!"

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
