version: bash-1.12.1
machine: NeXTstation (68040 @ 25MHz) running NeXTstep3.0

tty is not opened. To reproduce, rlogin and say 

bash$ echo hi > /dev/tty
/dev/tty: No such device or address

I reported this problem with a previous version of bash
on NeXTstep2.x and it was subsequently *fixed*.
The problem was with NS2.x rlogind.
The current version of bash does contain (in particular
in shell.c) a fix to get around the problem in NS2.x and 
now it is broken *again*... sigh. I suspect the problem
is with NS3.0 rlogind.

Thank you for your time and effort in releasing and
maintaining our favorite shell.
