Even after the revert in http://git.kernel.org/linus/55db4c6 I can
reproduce some pty oddities using the test program in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/2/14/212.

Instead of having the output being different from the input, the child
process hangs reading while the parent is done writing.

The hangs should be easily seen with:

$ while :; do date; yes | head -n 5000 | ./a.out > /dev/null; done
