I have no problems with this recent change on my x86 machine.
Also, if I understand correctly, most programs no longer use
"legacy" pty's. And ttyrec, which still uses them, fails with
the new kernel. The fact that xterm still works on my machine
suggests that it should not be affected by this change on your
machine either. I'd say that the cause is something else,
perhaps related to the loaded modules on your machine.
