tmux invalid tty

When I start tmux in a terminal (xterm, urxvt), I get the following:

Invalid tty
[phnx@001 ~]$

It is the same for every window or pane I open.
What does 'invalid tty' mean? What can I do about it?

I used 2 of the default configuration files in /usr/share/tmux/: h-boetes.conf and t-williams.conf.

Re: tmux invalid tty

Did you ever figure out what causes this to happen? I've used the same configuration in many Linux distros before but this is the first time I'm seeing it.
