You'll probably have to push "ldterm" and another module that I can't remember
right now. It was kind of annoying while trying to get ssh to use the pty returned
by pty-redir without these modules pushed on the stream. There must be a way that
pty-redir can push the right modules and have them retained over the execv but,
I couldn't get it to work.
If I find the other module name I'll post it.
Good luck,
Paul
