Still fails under the Linus's tree + this patch.

However!!!

Tested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>




It turns out, T.tcflush doesn't expect it can start as a process group
leader. In this case setsid() fails, then tty_open() doesn't set
signal->tty, and thus this patch makes no difference: tty_check_change()
fails because tty doesn't match signal->tty.

And indeed, this test passes if you run it under strace, or simply do

	$ TET_CONFIG=CFG TET_ROOT=. perl -e "system './T.tcflush 4'"

And damn, the fact it doesn't fail under strace doesn't allow you to
see that setsid() fails ;)

This is probably explains why Karel reported success, perhaps he
didn't run this test individually.

Thanks again Peter. Perhaps my analysis was wrong (and I do not see
setsid() in the sources), I do not really care. but perhaps tcflush.c
should be updated.

Oleg.
