This is already fixed in 3.8.1p1.

I don't know why openpty() is failing.  Does the same thing happen with 
3.8.1p1?

I've never tried that.

Since we're now clearing KRB5CCNAME when sshd starts, I'm wondering if 
we should just move the existing KRB5CCNAME block from inside the #ifdef 
_AIX block and run it for all platforms.  That way any platform that 
sets it will copy it to the child, but any that don't (which should be 
most of them) will not.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
