When I start mc, a string "subshell.c: can't open slave pty ....." appers for a moment, and then subshell feature of mc doesn't work (e.g. when I press Ctrl-O I can't run shell commands) As strace shows, mc tries to open /dev/ptmx 3 times one after other. First two attempts succees, the third fails with "no such device". After this the message is printed. ls -l /dev/ptmx crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Feb 26 15:44 /dev/ptmx uname -a Linux snuppy 2.2.1 #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 12:54:13 MSK 1999 sparc unknown
