Potato splitvt not working

[Wayne Topa <wtopa@dmcom.net>]

  Does anyone have splitvt running on Potato?  I have it running fine
	on Slink but when I run it on Potato I get the error: 
	No available pseudo terminals
	That is on a console or an xterm.

	I have CONFIG_DEVPTS_FS=y, CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y, and
	CONFIG_UNIX98_PTY_COUNT=256 in the kernel (2.2.16 & .17).  I also
	have /dev/ptyp[0-9].  These are all set on Slink as well as Potato.

	I have checked the docs but can't locate any mention of a change
	from Slink.  As the "NOTES" file mentioned in the README is not
	included in the distribution, I can't check it for any 'hints' as to
	what the problem might be.

	Any suggestions appreciated.
