Package: rlfe
Version: 5.0-7
Followup-For: Bug #287434
I have one i386 Sarge system that has the problem, and one that doesn't.
They both have libc6-i686 2.3.2.ds1-18 installed (and other rlfe deps as
shown by reportbug are the same on both.)
Ah, I think I've figured it out:
The one that works is a dual Opteron running Linux 2.6.8-1-k7-smp (a
standard Debian kernel). That kernel's config includes
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256
Where it doesn't work, I'm running a kernel I compiled myself, with
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
# CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set
The relevant bits of strace rlfe cat on the system where it doesn't work is:
open("/dev/ptyp0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
open("/dev/ptyp1", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
open("/dev/ptyp2", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
open("/dev/ptyp3", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
open("/dev/ptyp4", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)
See pts(4) for info on the new way of doing things.
Happy hacking :)
