	Oh, I get it now.  You must have done an upgrade from a 2.2
machine.  I'm not sure what to tell you about this, I haven't been in
the same situation.  
	Maybe, to eliminate the obvious, you should grab a ttys from
the 3.4 release.  I imagine that you have binaries leftover from the
2.2 days, possibly even X?  Other than that, someone else may have
some thoughts.
