I know I've done something stupid, but I can't figure out what...

All of a sudden, now when I try to run 'xterm', it fails with (something
like) this message:

  xterm: Error 23 errno 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Has anyone seen this before? And what device would it be talking about
anyway?

Thanks,
-Archie
