Not on Solaris:
$ ./pty
terminal is /dev/pts/35
select returned
got 0 read: slave was closed
<waits>
See attached pty.c. On Linux I get:
$ ./pty
terminal is /dev/pts/9
select returned
read of master: -1 5
select returned
read of master: -1 5
select returned
...
It looks like we must keep the slave fd open on both platforms instead,
as Linux's behaviour if we close the slave is unusable. Do you agree?
