The only reasonable thing I can come up with is open both pty and tty on
the first call to get_pty, so the second call can't fail. 

The tests pass when I use openpty; though since that's in libutil and
I didn't immedietly see a way to link that in, there's a terrible work
around with dlopen/dlsym. I have no intention to commit this.

I've sent a mail to OpenBSD. I don't think this should block the
release. Worst case there will be a patch in the port that can be
upstreamed by the next release.
