Excellent detective work Bob !

I really appreciate the effort you've put into tracing this.

I just finished doing some reading on EAGAIN (and EWOULDBLOCK) and
see the issues that you make reference too. Yeah, I guess with the
older systems it was not a big deal, but it looks like I'll have to
go take another look. I know where I have to look now anyways.

What type of interface (which attach) is that TTY used in ?

If you don't mind, forward me his patch (for reference purposes).

Thank you.
