I've just checked in a hack that extends the conditional call to
ioctl(TIOCPKT) so that it doesn't get called if HAVE_STREAMS is
defined; this extends the logic for __svr4__, since some system that
have STREAMS ptys don't define it. I've verified that this fixes the
problem on AIX 4.3.3; not sure what was wrong to begin with, but
perhaps BSD-style packet mode is broken on AIX.
We should work out a real fix that involves using the STREAMS style
packet mode and translates into BSD-style for the "protocol".
