-`slattach' problem:
-
- There is a problem with some versions of `slattach' on Linux.  If you
- see a message from it about being unable to open /dev/2 or some such,
- then you need to upgrade or patch your `slattach'.  In Debian
- GNU/Linux it's in the `netbase' package, and the fix is in Debian 2.1
- in 3.16-3 and later; however the bug has regressed, and is known to
- be in Debian 2.2's 3.18-4 and earlier.  The relevant Debian bug
- reports are #45515 (now closed) and #45944.  A patch to correct
- 3.18-4 is provided here as `slattach.diff', and a fixed binary is
- available from the author.
