>Description:


mount_ptyfs(8) hangs my box when launching a xterm
using xorg from pkgsrc (dunno about XFree86).

I have this line in /etc/fstab:

ptyfs /dev/pts ptyfs rw 0 0

And my kernel has COMPAT_BSDPTY and file-system PTYFS.

>How-To-Repeat:



Add the following line into /etc/fstab:

ptyfs /dev/pts ptyfs rw 0 0

Launch X11 (XFree86 or xorg) and run a xterm, the system will hang.


>Fix:


Sorry, dunno.
