Reviving this old thread [1] that resulted in this PR [2] that was closed.

mlterm has now changed to version 3.9.3 and the problem has recurred.

I suspect, the following in mlterm/Makefile is not working:

.if ${OPSYS} == "NetBSD"
CONFIGURE_ENV+=         bl_cv_pty=streams
.endif

Noticed that config.log is having bl_cv_pty=bsd

Any suggestions?
