Yes, the program needs to be setuid root, not setuid tim.
Now _everybody_ who runs this program has the permissions of tim, 
which is not sufficent to open /dev/console and whatever else is needs.

Things ought to also work  if you create a console group, chmod the 
devices to allow console-group members to read/write them and add yourself to 
that group.
