Sounds like you've got to the bottom of this, which is good.
The current problem hasn't occurred before, I don't think, but yes, this
is how it's designed to work --- at least if HAVE_POSIX_OPENPT is
defined, which presumably it is. In that case zsh is checking for the
API and expects it to work if present.
I guess it would be possible to have a "broken posxix_openpt" test ---
we've done such things before. But surely if it's possible for the
system to fix posix_openpt, which must be how it's intended to work,
we shouldn't need to test...?
