I think the first step should be to fix the detection of bare console
handles by checking for an fd instead of doing a console server
call. That should make things faster, and avoid most of the problem
already.

Then if the client side really can't be fixed, then it's the client side
that should be requesting extra permissions, not the server compensating
for the client bugs.
