I mean it should be possible to have two processes that are the only
processes on their (-CLOCAL) tty, such that:


process		DCD-on-to-off		shutdown-tty-revoke

   1		Gets SIGHUP		Gets SIGHUP
   2		Gets SIGHUP		DOESN'T get SIGHUP

And that slattch should be set up like  process 2.


>From Bruce's last posting, it looks like the SIGHUP is resulting from
an explicit SIGHUP send rather than as a result of the tty being
revoked.  If so, this may be purely a problem in the shutdown code
and not a problem in the tty code at all (depends on how the revoke
acts in regard to a "process 2" type process, assuming slattach is
set up as a "process 2" type process.
