Your TTY is /tmp/rpm/other_clisp-2.27-1mdk.src.rpm.log isn't it? (it is a char device that matches what /proc/*/stat reports)

This may be because ps from a different pty is unable to see the real pathname in /proc/*/fd/ and must guess via other means.
The whole name resolution process is really gross. It would be wonderful to have a /proc/*/tty symlink to examine.
