Re: port-xen/40675: Xen 3.3: guest serial console not functional

["Christoph Egger" <Christoph_Egger%gmx.de@localhost>]

Nope, that doesn't fix it.

With help from uebayasi, I found the issue yesterday
and the fix is upstream now:

http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-3.3-testing.hg?rev/39c14827be55

xenconsoled: make guest console visible on NetBSD dom0

After openpty(), slave_fd must be closed or guest console output
goes to the slave while select() in xen console client listens on
the master.
