It's quite likely that aixterm uses a different algorithm. The
problem is a real one, I've seen it on cluster machines, too. I have
a perl script which can diagnose it, but I have no clue what causes
the problem, or how to fix it (beside rebooting).
Specifically, the problem is that when you try to open the pty, it
succeeds, but the fd is invalid. In my script, I call ioctl(fd,
TCGETA, ...); and I get EINVAL back. No clue why. This call on a
normal available pty succeeds.
