playing with ssh (very neat...) I noticed that if some other program us=
es a
pty in packet mode, and that pty subsequently gets reused by ssh, thing=
s
don't work. Apparently, packet mode isn't cleared between closes.
I don't quite think that makes sense -- pty handling is so diverse betw=
een
Unixes that I don't think we can expect all pty-using programs to know
about TIOCPKT.
I've hacked the appropriate call into ssh, but personally I'd rather se=
e
an appropriate assignment in drivers/char/pty.c:pty_close()..?
