"unable to set nonblocking on pty"

After really screwing up the system, I had to reformat the hard drive,
reinstall Unix (v 4.0D, I think) then restore from a tape archive. After
doing this, when physically sitting at the workstation and logging in, any
user other than root gets this error message when trying to open a
terminal window "Dtterm: unable to set nonblocking on pty".

Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

Thanks,
