linux-2.2.x (x > 5) and glibc-2.1.1pre1: dip(8) crashes

[Horst von Brand]

This is i586, mostly RedHat-5.9.7; kernels compiled with egcs snapshots
(2.2.5 works fine!). dip(8) crashes as soon as the connection is opened.
Alan Cox told me that this is due to a bug in the naming of ttys in glibc,
but so far I haven't seen any patches.

Suggestions? CSLIP is my access to the world, so this is important to me.

Thanks!
