In the snapshots since the tty overhaul, applications launched within an
X session (launched with startx) show a large TTY number (196608) in ps.
I'm not sure whether that's intentional or not, but either way, the
layout of ps accommodates at most a four-digit number; the six-digit
numbers found now push the rest of the row out of alignment, making ps
output very difficult to read.
