And from the debugging, we know that the errno is EBADF (Bad file 
number).  From the grantpt man page (HP-UX 11.00):

   Failure may result under the following conditions:

    o  The file descriptor specified by the fildes parameter is not
       an open file descriptor.

    o  The file descriptor specified by the fildes parameter is not
       associated with a STREAMS master pty device.

    o  The corresponding slave pty device cannot be accessed.

Now #1 can't be true, otherwise openpty would have failed after the 
open().   #2 should not be true either, since it was only just opened. 
And if it was #3 I would have expected EACCES.

What's the perms on /dev/ptmx?

Maybe you could run ssh -D under tusc (which is an unsupported 
truss/strace equivalent for HPUX) for clues abour what it's doing?

BTW, what HP-UX version are you using?

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