No suggestions, but a "me too". I've just updated and rebuilt Emacs-23,
and with this command:
$ ~/emacs/emacs/src/emacs -batch -l 000tests.el -f do-all-tests
(i.e., run the CC Mode test suite), I get the same error message,
namely:
Device 0 is not a termcap terminal device
. This is distressing. It also suggests the error is nothing to do with
--daemon, but perhaps more to do with ttys. The error happens both on a
Linux tty and an X-Windows term.
