Doing some quick research right now reveals some interesting facts. 

Currently, the X server it as it again. fstat reveals that the X server has
the following devices open: console, mem, and wsmouse.
fstat then also reveals multiple programs have the console open, as I run X
by doing a `xinit &', and thus able to do some other stuff (a habit I picked
up when accidentally doing a `pkill bash'). 

I've never had problems with this on other OSes.
