There is a leading space in the statement to clone the pty
and it induces some bizzare behavior. Sometimes it will
succeed and other times it will fail. I noticed the problem
the first time it tried to allocate a pty of the type /dev/pty/*
Removing the space causes it to work all the time.
Thanks for noticing this problem! It's been fixed in our development
sources.
