I looked into this a bit more.

As I understand it, FreeBSD 8 posix_openpt supports O_CLOEXEC
but this is undocumented, FreeBSD 9 posix_openpt rejects
attempts to use O_CLOEXEC, and future FreeBSD posix_openpt
will support O_CLOEXEC again.  See:

http://bogomips.org/ruby.git/patch/?id=452bf3b9c954d770ccb704cb9f5470f515e00584

What a mess, huh?  I installed two patches as trunk
bzr 113963 and 113964 to try to work around FreeBSD's
flip-flopping on this issue.  Please let us know if they
fix your problem.
