it becomes possible to trap in ptsstop() in kern/tty_pty.c
if the slave side has never been opened during the life of a kernel.
What happens is that calls to ttyflush() done from ptyioctl() for the
controlling side end up calling ptsstop() [via (*tp->t_stop)(tp, <X>)]
which evaluates the following:
struct pt_ioctl *pti = tp->t_dev->si_drv1;
In order for tp->t_dev to be set, the slave device must first be
opened in ttyopen() [kern/tty.c].
It appears that the only problem is calls to (*tp->t_stop)(tp, <n>),
so this could also happen with other ioctls initiated by the
controlling side before the slave has been opened.
