the part i find interesting is the explanation of the confirmed legit situations \
where this can occur. judging by the phab diff, there is a change of behavior in the \
kernel involved. otoh, the bugzilla entry suggests that there is a behavior change in \
kpty, which doesn't ring a bell in to me. i want that cleared up, because it \
_smells_.
