Looks like mlterm wants the old-style /dev/{ttyp,ptyp}* pty(4) devices.
I'm not seeing an openpty(3) in the binary. Make it happy by doing:

---
# cd /dev
# sh ./MAKEDEV opty
---

Note that this creates a security issue, it would be better to patch the
pkg.


Ah, yes--I'd quite forgotten. Mayuresh, for now, please do:

# chmod o-rwx /dev/ttyp* /dev/ptyp*

after making the pty devices. With that mlterm still works I see--despite
it not being set{u,g}id--hmm. (But, mkterm-wscons is setuid I see...)
