We picked up the defect report review at Mantis bug #121

On 124 we noted that introducing a change here would likely cause breakage
for someone. We recorded further thoughts with the bug.

On # 96 

We agreed to minute the discussion behind the proposed change.

Although posix_openpt() is the preferred way to open a pseudo
terminal , many existing applications simply use open(). The grantpt() and 
unlockpt functions are required to ensure that a consistent portable
interface is presented.

On implementations where posix_openpt() or open() set the psuedo terminal
permissions appropriately, implementations are free to optimize grantpt().
It should also be noted that the rationale for posix_openpt() shows how
to implement the interface using open , and requiring grantpt to behave
as described.
