Hi,

I was running a powercycle test on my servers when STAF on my servers crashed

STAFProc version 3.4.11 initialized
20171120-23:30:29;140652566550272;00000100;STAFProcess::processMonitorThread: Error opening /dev/tty, errno: 6

Not sure if you want the entire memory map.

Anyways, my driver is using CentOS 6.6, while my servers are running CentOS 7.4.1708. I wasn't able to find whether this issue has been fixed. I've been using STAF 3.4.11 for many years now because it was stable, so I'll upgrade if necessary.
