Well, I think I can get an idea of what you're doing.  I'm not sure, you
really want to create a "minimal example" without all the surrounding
bric-a-brac.  Particularly, there seems to be some sort of framework,
perhaps "LiveUsb1", through which both the commands and responses are
filtered, which makes it really hard to track what is doing what.  Also,
why is there the stuff about vim?

Also, you don't state explicitly what you think the error is.  I assume
you mean that "Press [ctrl-d] again and tab (tty 5) crashes." should not
be happening.

But it looks to me like you're sending ctrl-d into a shell.  That, of
course, is EOF, and usually tells the shell to exit.  If it's a login
shell, the whole login session ends.

Now I don't know how pts's are managed, but they are "pseudo ttys" and I
wouldn't be surprised if, when a login session on a pts ends, the pts of
that session is deleted.  My Fedora 34 seems to create and delete pts's
as needed.
