: With that patch you can't open a pty-master if there is an old process : always running at the slave side of the pty. This emulates the behaviour : of HP-UX 10, Solaris 2.4, Sinix 5.42 and SCO OS5 and makes programs : like screen, script, xconsole, old xterm and others work with Linux-2.0.X : even under special conditions.
I can only stress the importantness of this patch. It's really annoying if you have 5 users/day telling you they couldn't log in via telnet ... another 5 which got xterms without a shell-prompt.
