As far as I understand it, the patch disables some workaround for
non-pty ttys (or perhaps even only Solaris non-pty ttys) that causes
this race condition. Thus upstream wanted to further investigate this
and I got no more feedback.

226's Changelog allegely says this might be closed, and I yet could not
reproduce it myself with 231 (though race conditions are always a bit
strange. Without some sleep call added to the sources, I could only
reproduce the old bug myself by making sure the xterm binary is not
in the kernel caches and my window manager ratpoison is).
