Bug Description
Binary package hint: byobu
I have gnome-terminal configured to start as a login shell, so that byobu starts when I open it. Occasionally I see:
ln: accessing `/var/run/
...and byobu/screen does not start ('khaeru' is my username).
khaeru@
lrwxrwxrwx 1 khaeru khaeru 40 2009-09-24 19:15 /var/run/
When I remove the link, close and reopen gnome-terminal, byobu starts properly.

I hit this too.
I'll whip up a patch.
