Has anyone experienced corrupted pty "pseudoterminals".
We need to remake the /dev pty devices twice a month.
The bad pty's present with half screen displays:
cat a file and get only 40 characters followed
with a \ "newline", and other problems.

Our setting: DN10K 10.3 BSD with emacs 18.55, ethernet,
and tcp/ip; pc's connect using NCSA and FTP telnet,
and or GSS PC/Xview.

Tried patch 222 and 219: new domain_os and /lib/streams.
Only worse: with new pty's running emacs produces
segmentation fault in all shell environments.

? Is flow control the problem ?

/thanks
