Doug,
did you change

int isatty(int filedes) __THROW {
   return (filedes == 0 || filedes == 1 || filedes == 2);
}

to

int isatty(int filedes)  {
   return (filedes == 0 || filedes == 1 || filedes == 2);
}

I should likely change it to something safer (if less readable) like:


int isatty(int filedes)
#ifdef __THROW
__THROW
#endif
{
   return (filedes == 0 || filedes == 1 || filedes == 2);
}

The test suite (from make check which is more extensive than PyMPITest.py
doesn't do a good job of testing interactive (and indeed, I diddn't build
a version --with-isatty when I did the release test!).  I'm not sure how
to do that automatically.
