Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-38+etchnhalf.1.1
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/bootlogd
Tags: patch
bootlogd's findpty() never returns an error value, even when it fails to find
a usable pty. Consequently bootlogd may carry on thinking it has found a valid
pty -- with slave named /dev/ttyzf -- but encounters "Bad file descriptor"
errors as soon as it tries to do anything with it.
The attached patch corrects this problem.
