don't go down the HAVE_DEV_PTMX road (WAS: Re: the function is grantpt(), but where to put it?)

[Toni L. Harbaugh-Blackford]

I unset HAVE_OPENPTY, so that the HAVE_DEV_PTMX section
with grantpt() would be executed.

*THEN* I still get the same 'Error in terminal setup', *plus* now I get
kicked out, just like in openssh-3.4p1 with the patch applied.

grantpt() in sshpty.c did not generate an error, so I guess I have to
investigate something else causing the 'Error in terminal setup' message.
