sorry folks, when I was reading the bug report yesterday,
I have somehow missed all the updates on the thread sent in in 2005 :(
Mind you, both kernels I related to (2.4 and 2.6) came from the std Debian
i686 uniprocessor kernel binary packages.
As for the kernel config explanation that you suggest, here's
what is going on here:
$ grep PTY /boot/config-2.6.8-1-686
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256
Nevertheless rlfe doesn't work on my machine, so it looks like the
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not the key here. The strace looks similar
to yours:
...
open("/dev/ptyp0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
dup(2) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 4), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x40018000
_llseek(3, 0, 0xbffff498, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(3, "ptypair: could not open master p"..., 62ptypair: could not open
master pty: No such file or directory
) = 62
