The machine is following RELENG6 using cvsup and was running 6.3 before. IO::Pty (or rather the Perl module Expect) was running fine until the recent upgrade. IO::Pty is included in the distribution of IO::Tty and is used by the Perl module Expect. Re-installing IO::Tty from ports or from CPAN did not help. This also happened on another machine which I upgraded to 6.4-PRERELEASE today in order to verify the problem. >How-To-Repeat: install from ports devel/p5-IO-Tty and perform this script $ perl -e 'use IO::Pty; $x= new IO::Pty;' Cannot create a new IO::Tty from fd 4: Bad file descriptor at -e line 1 >Fix: No workaround found yet. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
