chat cannot get terminal type: input/output error

[Alan Mead <adm ipat com>]

I upgraded my initscripts and making ppp connections died.  Sigh.  I
tweaked and I almost got it but chat dies with an error about not being
able to attach to or open or get a terminal.  It's being run, of course, by
ifup-ppp0.  I don't see any updates to chat nor anything in the man page
that would make it detach and run without a terminal (I'm not giving it any
parameters like -V or the others that make it write to standard error.

Any ideas?
