Hello!
I noticed that when someone tries to open a pty, that has no master side, this task loops in running state. Apparently, it is not correct.
Really, I suspect that nobody knows what should be done in this situation. F.e. Solaris sleeps. (Taking into account that Solaris<=2.3 utmp/utmpx is pretty broken, you will have couple of dozens sleeping messaged/talkd etc. after one day of work)
I'd just return EIO (or something a sort of it).
Alexey Kuznetsov.
