Package: rlfe Version: 5.0-7 Followup-For: Bug #287434 I have one i386 Sarge system that has the problem, and one that doesn't. They both have libc6-i686 2.3.2.ds1-18 installed (and other rlfe deps as shown by reportbug are the same on both.)
Ah, I think I've figured it out: The one that works is a dual Opteron running Linux 2.6.8-1-k7-smp (a standard Debian kernel). That kernel's config includes CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256 Where it doesn't work, I'm running a kernel I compiled myself, with CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y # CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is not set The relevant bits of strace rlfe cat on the system where it doesn't work is: open("/dev/ptyp0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptyp1", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptyp2", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptyp3", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) open("/dev/ptyp4", O_RDWR) = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address) See pts(4) for info on the new way of doing things.
