it appears stty is broken in slackware 9_0

[jude dashiell <dashielljt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried to get emacspeak 16.0 working with my litetalk synthesizer on
slackware 9_0.  After having done the download and configure and make of
emacspeak-ss-1.9.1.tar.gz since the slackware version wouldn't work I
decided o test it.  So I typed tcl ./doubletalk <cr> and got back the
following strange output:

Script started on Fri May 23 13:12:34 2003
root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/tmp/emacspeak-ss-1.9.1# tcl ./doubletalk
Set port to /dev/ttyS0
Error: stty: standard input: Input/output error
    while executing
"exec stty sane 9600 raw  -echo crtscts <  $port "
    ("Linux" arm line 3)
    invoked from within
"switch -exact  -- $machine {
    DEC { #osf and ultrix
        exec stty sane 9600 raw  -echo < $port
        exec stty ixon ixoff  <  $port
    }
 ..."
    (file "./doubletalk" line 939)
root@xxxxxxxxxxx:/tmp/emacspeak-ss-1.9.1# exit
