Yes, exactly. Our struct acct uses a dev_t to store the controlling TTY.
This is obviously completely broken on 8+, because we garbage collect
pseudo-terminals. Still, one could argue it has always been broken,
because even before the new TTY layer it would break when unplugging
USB-to-serial converters or performing a reboot.

I think the only way to fix this, is by updating the acct structure to
write a string representation of the device name.

Best regards,
