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.

 Happy hacking :)
