IRIX bug in Kerberos 5 B5

Another IRIX bug: in krlogind.c, getpty() isn't working.  It's running
this code:

	ptynum = (int)(stb.st_rdev&0xFF);
	sprintf(slave, "/dev/ttyp%x", ptynum);
	return 0;

which doesn't work for IRIX -- the /dev/ttyq?? devices don't exist.  I
changed it to

	ptynum = (int)(stb.st_rdev&0xFF);
	sprintf(slave, "/dev/ttyq%d", ptynum);
	return 0;

and it works now.  I don't know why it even gets to this point because
it looks like the call to ttyname() should work.
