Hm, I not sure about these line length problems... the major reason I
was looking for a solution not using a pty was the insecure pty
allocation method on some systems (notably AIX 4.3, which I am using
:).  I don't know if using a pty might introduce line length problems.

To summarize:
    
imtest version / p-c-t       nil                              t
<2.0.14                      does not work not at all         insecure
2.0.14+                      fine and secure                  insecure
