According to the strace snippet I sent, it looks more like it's trying to 
get a filename right (to open the file?), and failing to do so. 

When I tried it, I didn't get any output to the screen (so probably
nothing had been written to con yet - or might that be me using rxvt?)

As I didn't use the -k option, it shouldn't try to read either..
