Re: run_init: Fork:: No such file or directory

[Antoine Martin <antoine@nagafix.co.uk>]

Next time, I'll wait before posting...
I can't explain why that fixed it, but I rebooted, relabeled and now
everything works ok. I've had issues with ttys/ptys before, I guess this
is what has happened here.
Not understanding the problem or the fix makes me nervous though.

Thanks
Antoine
