Yes my patch works with FreeBSD 4.x.
FreeBSD 4.x does not have grantpt(3) so BSD version of
pty_open_master is compiled in from subshell.c.

FreeBSD 5.x has grantpt(3) and it is correctly detected in configure script
so HAVE_GRANTPT version of pty_open_master is compiled in.
On the other hand FreeBSD 5.x does not have getpt(), "/dev/ptc"
or "/dev/ptmx" but has posix_openpt(3) instead.

Of course, probing for posix_openpt(3) can be added to configure script
and its use in subshell.c can be surrounded by #if HAVE_POSIX_OPENT
instead of #ifdef __FreeBSD__.
