This is the culprit.. 
should be "tty /dev/ttyp?" (or pty?)

I don't know why, and I've not made any changes to that code.
Have you upgraded your system recently?

Your program doesn't have debug on? That makes it harder to debug, you'll be
looking at the "disassemble" output a lot. But with the new version you can
now... :-)

Oh no - a system message dumped out via gdb.
I've a check for "No such file or directory" thinking that gdb (always
english) was putting that out.

It's not a problem that I've not trapped this in this case, but I'll fix it to
look for a translated message. I can see this as being a bit awkward

This is the "tty (null)" error, btw

Time for a coffee... ?? :-)

I'll email you directly about this...
