I think there's a flaw here:  attachtty() doesn't *work*, in that it
won't actually associate the new process group with the TTY.  Instead
it just won't result in an infinite loop.

I think this will happen as a side-effect of attachtty() failing to do
any other useful work.  Does it not print the "can't set tty pgrp"
error?
