Thanx for answer, I have got the same result on ~week ago CVSed sources,
which was built by common build.sh procedure (b.sh tools;
b.sh kernel=GENERIC;cp {path}/netbsd /netbsd; reboot;
b.sh -U -x distribution; b.sh -U -u -x release; b.sh -U -x install=/)
and my xterms refuse to run, the same error output to console.

I didn't read about new frame in /dev, so I guess some paths to ptm*
stay unchanged.

HTH,
