Re: getting EBADF on NetBSD

This is also seen on NetBSD 5.1. They have an unlockpt() that does nothing;
it just returns 0.

I'm not inclined to add a replacement just for this. Instead, modify the test:


2011-09-21  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        unlockpt tests: Avoid test failure on NetBSD 5.1.
        * tests/test-unlockpt.c (main): Skip the EBADF tests on NetBSD.
        * doc/posix-functions/unlockpt.texi: Mention the bug on NetBSD.
