To be honest I've wondered about this for a while.
Here's my quandry...
I use Vmware for Ubuntu 14 LTS.
First I start a dumbarse terminal and do:
factotum&
plumber&
sam&9term&
This gives me something I can work with.
But when I run venti, then fossil - I get no fossilcons in $ns. Fossil works fine but you can't really keep it together without the console.
Now I digress. But I don't really.
If I try and run another 9term (as you would) you get "out of ptys". Clearly my fscons is a failed pty.
That is my experience.
