  After listening to your and Carl Gutekunst's (csg@pryamid.UUCP)
arguments I'm going to agree with you.  I do think that 4BSD should
support O_NDELAY on tty lines if for no other reasons than it's intuitive
and is apparently compatible with SYSV.  But fundamentally you're right,
we're talking about two different pseudo devices which are implemented on
the same physical device.  Sorry for the stones.
