You're seeing the evil effects of POSIX sessions, the only innovation in
P1003.1 not based upon real-world experience and hence (objectively) the
worst feature of the standard. SunOS 4.1 is a POSIX-based system.

I've upgraded pty to SunOS 4.1. Now if we could only convince Oliver to
support pty under screen along with (or in place of) his old pseudo-tty
allocation code, this wouldn't be a problem. Oh, well.
