>Description:

ptsname(fildes) is documented to set errno to EBADF if fildes is not a
valid open file descriptor, but ptsname(-1) returns errno = 0.

>How-To-Repeat:

==[test-ptsname.c]==
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char *name;

	errno = 0;
	name = ptsname(-1);
	printf("ptsname(-1) returns %p (%s), errno is %d\n", name,
	    name ? name : "", errno);
}
====

[emaste@freefall ~]$ ./test-ptsname 
ptsname(-1) returns 0x0 (), errno is 0
