OK. But CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS was defined in official Debian x86
kernels, so that most maintainers probably could not see the
problems, and it could take months/years to get them fixed.
But it seems that CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS is no longer defined in
2.6.22 for x86 either (it was defined in 2.6.18 for x86).
