So isatty() returns TRUE, but ttyname() returns NULL (for the same
port). Does that make sense, or is it arguably a Mac OS C library bug?
(This is an open question. I don't really know what ptys are.)

Assuming the above isn't a C library bug, can you suggest what Guile
should print for a pty?
Thanks,
