Re: Strange OSX behavior

[Bryan Christ]

I will.  What it looks like is happening is that poll() set to POLLIN on my pty file descriptor is returning that data is available.  However, when I call the TIOCINQ ioctl, to see how many bytes are available for reading, the call succeeds but sets the value to zero.

Now that it finally builds, I see strange behavior with my demo program that I don't see when it runs on Linux or FreeBSD. Output coming from XYZ application running inside the emulator is only echoed when I write data to the slave pty file descriptor (for example holding down the cursor key). If anyone has even a good guess as to what's going on, I would appreciate it.
