I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and had this problem ("There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" when starting terminal in GNOME). Fix 1 solved this for me (`sudo mv /etc/rcS.d/S03mountdevsubfs.sh /etc/rcS.d/S11mountdevsubfs.sh`).
Please let me know if I can provide any further helpful information.
