For tty, I guess yes. However, now, pty is pushing the data to other

Also, I'm not sure though, I guess it depends on the bug which was fixed
by the commit.

I don't know about ppp problem at all. So, personally I'm ok either way
- we revert it and try to fix this for next merge window, or continue to
fix this for a while.
