Not really. You happen to be lucky. Anyway with no tty port the UML code
will soon cease to function completely so a solution of some sort is
needed.

That one is. The console driver handles stuff its own way and
differently. It's eventually got to tackle the same problem.
I still think we ought to be able to solve it cleanly. It's a case of
getting the tests right so that we allow for the misbehaviour util-linux
does.
As of itself util-linux behaviour doesn't appear to be something we can't
permit as the
open
vhangup
sequence means the file handle that is left from before the vhangup due
to util-linux misbehaving is a hung-up fd so cannot affect the tty.
UML is a good test case for fixing this properly because it's got almost
no users, and those it has are fairly technical 8)
