If my understanding is correct, we cannot use ptys at all on darwin 6
or below now?

Ptys on darwin 6 have the problem of data loss at the end of the stream,
but they are still useful for interactive subprocesses, such as M-x shell.

Moreover, we can fix the kernel of darwin 6 becuase its source is available.

Could you please re-consider the last change and make it user's selectable
that emacs should use ptys or not by setting process-connection-type ?
