Here's the code that I stumbled across (as a result of a SEGV). I
haven't checked to see if there are other examples. From terminal.c:
/* Deletes the bootstrap terminal device.
Called through delete_terminal_hook. */
static void
delete_initial_terminal (struct terminal *terminal)
{
if (terminal != initial_terminal)
abort ();
delete_terminal (terminal);
initial_terminal = NULL;
}
