oy, i was unclear.
the main point: (in current linux) you can have several instances of devpts,
by mounting them at various places (with -o newinstance); the relevant config
is CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES
also, the `protocol' of creating new /dev/pts/* is somewhat sensible, too. no
ioctl(), just open /dev/pmtx, read a textual representation of an integer N
and open /dev/pts/N.
not claiming it's great tech, just that there's some progress in the
linuxland. hopefully more pro- than con-, anyway >_>;;
