Hmm. The pty_ops_bsd thing is missing the .install handler. And looking at 
it, I'm not immediately seeing the difference between the pty_install 
handler and the pty_unix98_install one. There's some differences in 
termios initialization, and there is that 

	driver->other->ttys[idx] = o_tty;
	driver->ttys[idx] = tty

thing, but it's not entirely clear to me why the legacy pty's don't use 
the 'lookup()' logic instead (like the unix98 ones). Oh well.

Does anybody want to test this patch?

And is there any situation where this can be actually noticed? You 
obviously need to have an old distro that actually uses the old static pty 
setup.
