This one was first discovered on my SE Linux play box, but has been 
reproduced on normal machines too.

Log into a devfs-enabled box remotely with ssh, or with gnome-terminal,
or possibly others (haven't checked)

Do not issue any comands in that shell

Open another shell, and look at "w" output. Idle time is absurd.

use stat on the pts from the first shell, notice the atime is 1970.

People say this doesn't happen with devpts.


To access the play box:
ssh -p 222 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Password "1".
