okay, this might make sense to someone out there ... looking at
konsole_grantpty, the fod that is failing appears to be:
pty = ttyname(PTY_FILENO); /* posix */
if (pty == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr,"%s: cannot determine the name of device.\n",argv[0]);
return 1; /* FAIL */
}
close(PTY_FILENO);
where PTY_FILENO is hardcoded as 3:
#define PTY_FILENO 3 /* keep in sync with grantpty */
What does the 3 signify? Is this something specific to Linux that needs
to be set to a different value for *BSD (and, apparently, UnixWare7)?
