[Sheflug] screen & "No more PTYs"

["Chris J" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone come across this before? Trying to run screen on my Slack 8 box, but 
its complaining first that there are "No more PTYs", followed by the 
message "Sorry, could not find a PTY.".

Hunting the net, people that have had this problem before haven't had /dev/p
ts of fs type devpts mounted. I've got that, and also have UNIX98 PTY 
support built in (4 kernel builds later after breaking X and then sound).

But screen is just refusing to start, even if run as root (in case it was a 
perms problem).

Anyone any suggestions ? It's getting a tad annoying ...
