Looks like mlterm wants the old-style /dev/{ttyp,ptyp}* pty(4) devices.
I'm not seeing an openpty(3) in the binary. Make it happy by doing:

---
# cd /dev
# sh ./MAKEDEV opty
---

Note that this creates a security issue, it would be better to patch the
pkg.

mlterm does not requires opty; it uses posix_openpt(3).

mlterm-3.9.2nb3 works just fine for me on NetBSD-current.

Mayuresh, does your system have /dev/ptmx?

If so, do you observe something wrong in:

----
$ ktrace mlterm
$ kdump
----

Thanks,
