Hi,

subshell.c currently contains hard-coded values for the available pty names. These names do not match with the ptys that can be found on actual systems. NetBSD 3.0 has ptyp[0-9A-Za-z], as well as pty[qrs][0-9A-Za-z], so mc can only use 64 of the 100 available ptys.

There may be similar issues on other systems, I haven't checked.

The appended patch just scans through the /dev/ directory, looking for anything that matches /^pty..$/.
