I am trying to track down a problem with ptsname(3) on -CURRENT breaking
gnome-vfs' sftp module, and apparently kio_sftp and kdesu as well.
mich@ has been helping from the KDE side, but unfortunately, he's
reported my latest patch doesn't fix the KDE problems.  I now have two
confirmations that it fixes gnome-vfs, and I can't see where I've gone
wrong.  ptsname(3) should now work exactly how it does in 5.X.

Can any KDE user on recent -CURRENT verify that kio_sftp and kdesu are
broken for you (not sure what the brokenness looks like), then try the
patch at http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/grantpt.c.diff, and see if
it helps.  If not, please download
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/gpt.c, compile it, and send me the
output.

To apply the patch, download it, then:

cd /usr
patch -p < /path/to/grantpt.c.diff
cd /usr/src/lib/libc
make && make install
(Restart KDE)

To build and run gpt.c:

cc -o gpt gpt.c
./gpt

Thanks!

Joe
