Some of the pty initialization was reworked last Friday to fix an
initialization race on Solaris, but it shouldn't affect Linux boxes (it
doesn't here).  When we had problems under Linux (the "error getting
window size" messages), starting the terminal from an xterm or under gdb
with stdin/stdout/stderr redirected to /dev/null was enough to reproduce
them.

If that doesn't turn up anything, you might try modifying the terminal
launcher to run the terminal under strace or ltrace, using the -o flags
to log to a file that you can look at if the terminal fails to start.

HTH,
