test_pty hangs on hp/ux but not on solaris. It seems we are talking
about the problem mentioned above:

test_pty
bTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "../python/dist/src/Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 1012, in ?
    main()
  File "../python/dist/src/Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 260, in main
    ok = runtest(test, generate, verbose, quiet, testdir)
  File "../python/dist/src/Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 390, in runtest
    the_package = __import__(abstest, globals(), locals(), [])
  File "/mp/slaskdisk/tmp/quest/python/dist/src/Lib/test/test_pty.py",
  line 28,
in ?
    if not os.isatty(slave_fd):
KeyboardInterrupt

However, Neal's test will not trigger the problem, nor will running
the test alone:
