okay, this might make sense to someone out there ... looking at
konsole_grantpty, the fod that is failing appears to be:

  pty = ttyname(PTY_FILENO);          /* posix */
  if (pty == NULL)
  {
    fprintf(stderr,"%s: cannot determine the name of device.\n",argv[0]);
    return 1; /* FAIL */
  }
  close(PTY_FILENO);

where PTY_FILENO is hardcoded as 3:

#define PTY_FILENO 3    /* keep in sync with grantpty */

What does the 3 signify?  Is this something specific to Linux that needs
to be set to a different value for *BSD (and, apparently, UnixWare7)?
