The issue is that openpty() is failing on the machine.  I think /dev/ptmx
and /dev/pts have to exist for pty support to work properly.  We're having
the same issue on Coyote, but not on Pink and Flash.  As far as I can
tell, those are the files / directories that are on the working systems
but not coyote.
