I have found and fixed my problem with tip.  Thanks to those who
mailed me suggestions.  The solution involved the permissions on
tip itself rather than on the tty device where I had been focusing.
I had two copies of tip (/usr/bin and /usr/local/bin) which I had
skipped past, and the /usr/local/bin copy was not setuid.  So, it
mattered what order these directories were in my path.
