[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#584102: OpenVZ vzctl enter dying with: Unable to open pty: No such file or directory; problem with tcgetattr() and startpar

[Bartosz Pierzchala]

stty -a doesn't output anything when it's being launched via init
scripts at boot time. It exits with exit code 1.

The system boots properly with startpar enabled when call to
tcgetattr() isn't a fatal error - as I've written before.

Peter, perhaps we could briefly describe the variable in your patch?
