This should also fix a problem reported by Edward J. M. Brocklesby on IRC,
with some bizzarre setup he was putting together (he's larne, poke him, and
do it hard).  I cannot recall if he submitted a PR or not, but one hopes
that *someone* did, since it certainly affected a number of things (e.g.
ftpd logins using the port# for the utmp/wtmp entries).  Any thought of
expanding the functionality in libc or libutil to generalise code that
regards getting/opening the tty of a given entry, and so on?
