Looking at patch-2.6.4, there are plenty of minor changes to the pty
code but nothing that looks like it would break userspace except for
_very_ old glibcs that don't know about /dev/pts at all and just used
the legacy ones.

I have some _non-glibc_ pty code that I wish to keep working. Can you
briefly explain how it breaks with moderately old glibcs such as the
glibc-2.3.3 that's said to be inadequate, and therefore what interface
change is needed in non-glibc code?

Thanks,
-- Jamie
