I've had a pty-related error with xterm on PowerPC in the past. I had
to use the following workaround in my app-defaults file for XTerm:

I don't think it is related (it's a different error code).

! On ay (PPC), ones needs to set eightBitInput to true to avoid the error
! "xterm: fatal pty error 23 (errno=22) on tty /dev/pts/...". Therefore
! metaSendsEscape needs to be set to true, to allow non-ASCII characters.
*metaSendsEscape: true
*eightBitInput: true

I addressed this in

Patch #201 - 2005/4/21 - XFree86 4.5.99.2
* ignore error in the I/O initialization that tries to set the tty to
7-bit input for the case where eightBitInput resource is false
(Debian #298551).
