Every morning when I log onto the console on my machine, I get a
	no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
	Thus no job control in this shell

message.  I then have to reboot my machine to get my job control back.

I think something in my /etc/daily script is causing this, because it wasn't
happening before when my cron was broken, but I can't see anything in the
script that looks like it could be the problem.

I'm running NetBSD-0.9 on a 386DX33.  All of my crontabs and scripts are
straight out of the box originals.  

Has anyone else seen/solved this problem?
