Hey Alan,

I'm running 2.6.31-rc3, and twice now over about 36 hours all
pseudo-tty's have stopped working on my system.   Everything else works;
I can fire up gui applications, but starting any new programs that use
pty's will hang.   The only fix seems to be to reboot the system.

I think I remember seeing a similar report, but I thought you said it
had been fixed in -rc3 --- does this ring a bell?

Thanks,

						- Ted
