This is a known issue IIRC. See line 245 of tty_pts.c 1.16. Can be
easily reproduced by killing the sshd while apps are still running in
the shell.

I thought we weren't able to destroy the device there, because you can't
destroy a TTY when it is used by an application (i.e. when it's the
controlling terminal).
