>Description:

In the zstty driver, if CLOCAL is set on a tty, the TIOCMGET ioctl
erroneously shows DCD high when the hardware DCD line is not high.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install the ups-nut package (pkgsrc from cvs ~ 20040305) on a
SPARCstation 5.  Attach an APC Back-UPS Pro 1100 with 940-0020C
"simple signaling" cable (and 9-to-25-pin adaptor) to ttyb and
configure ups-nut appropriately (genericups driver, upstype=2).  Start
upsdriver and upsd from the rc.d scripts.  Observe that upsd always
reports low-battery condition (which is signaled by DCD) when queried,
despite lack of DCD on the hardware line (verified by LEDs on a RS-232
line tester/sniffer in series).  This behavior does not occur on i386.

Note: the ups-nut drivers set CLOCAL on a tty when opening it.
Erroneous reporting of DCD status confirmed by calling the ioctl from
perl.

>Fix:

Workaround, probably only useful for ups-nut: clearing CLOCAL on the
ups tty using stty -clocal causes upsd to correctly report lack of
low-battery condition.  (I have not confirmed whether TIOCMGET
correctly reports a DCD high on the hardware line when CLOCAL is
clear.)
