I can verify, and it's not the leak. I tried your patch with that leak
fix (and the other fixes I pointed out), and I see similar issues that
Stefan noted.

With gnome-terminal, the terminal window opens, and then it says

Failed to open PTY: No such device

and the terminal obviously doesn't work.

And I see the error: your devpts_ptmx_path() code always returns
-ENODEV because you set the error unconditionally before an error
check, and then you don't clear it if the error didn't happen.

I'll test the fix.
