No new info here.  Bruce sent me this msg last December.  So did someone
make the change he suggested (re above URL):

 | slattach can't do controlling tty stuff properly if the tty is already
 |      open.  It should fail completely when the TIOCSCTTY fails, but its
 |      cleanup is incomplete - it removes the pid file but doesn't unattach
 |      slip :-).

And if in fact slattach now must assume that it can become the controlling
tty for the slip device (and given that this 3.0-current slattach works in
an xterm and doesn't work off a window manager menu), it sounds like
there's some bug there with it making the "wrong" device the controlling
tty (or having some erroneous dependency on slattach already having or not
having a controlling tty).
