I suppose, but gosh, that seems like an awfully Linux-specific (one
might even say -peculiar) sort of solution.  Does this generalize to
any other platforms?

Considering that I never use ttyN for anything of substance -- I
certainly don't run Gnus on ttyN -- it won't affect me one iota, so I
suppose I don't care if it's done.
