Looks like for all we had lots of pty* devices, we didn't have the
right ones! Thanks to Alex Nord for the cure; he suggested doing
MAKEDEV PTY_1
(Naturally I had already done 2 and 3, couldn't believe I hadn't
already done 1!).
Thanks to all the other respondents (apologies to those who suggested
it was a licence limit problem: I should perhaps have pointed out
that we have an unlimited user licence).
