It hangs when tty_drain() is called when make(1) closes slave pty. Looks
like a race condition there when tty_wait() is called from tty_drain().

If I exchange pty master and slave hangs disappear. So attached patch works
for me.
It may add performance penalty but I think that the impact will be
negligible.
