Yes, pid 1 within the namespace at least. I couldn't find anywhere where
upstart opened /dev/console without O_NOCTTY set either, but evidently
it is happening somehow.

I just looked though, and this doesn't seem to be happening for actual
pid 1, only pid 1 in containers. The container is saucy and the host is
trusty, but they both have upstart 1.11-0ubuntu1.

Bug description:
  When you create a container in a private user namespace, when you start the
  container without the '-d' flag, that console is not properly set up.  Logging in
  gives you

  -bash: no job control in this shell

  and hitting ctrl-c reboots the container.

  Consoles from 'lxc-console -n $container' behave correctly.

  This may be a kernel issue, as discussed here:

  http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-
  devel/2013-October/005843.html

  so also marking this as affecting the kernel.

  This can be worked around, but really needs to be fixed before trusty
  is frozen.
