First: I have 2.4.19pre1 with glibc 2.2.4, too, on my laptop and it
works fine.
I once had a similar problem on that Digital Unix box. It turned out
that for some reason a /dev/ptyXX was free but the corresponding
/dev/ttyXX was not writable by anyone else than root. That made
get_pty() fail, of course.
Maybe we should change that function to re-try /dev/pty's in that
case? Haven't seen that problem anywhere else, though.
Bye
Sven
