FWIW, it's brittle on Solaris 9, too, and the SF compilefarm has two of
those. I don't know if it's the same problem, but on Solaris 9, the slave
part of the tty/pty pair sometimes isn't a TTY (according to os.isatty.) The
buildbot's log doesn't list the solaris 10 test_pty failure though, just the
test_logging failure.

It looks like a timing issue; the first run succeeds, all subsequent runs
fail, for a while, anyway. I'll do some googling and browsing other
tty/pty-using code to see if there's anything we're not doing we should be
doing, but it looks like a platform bug that we can't fix... Not without
re-implementing os.isatty anyway ;P
