Hm, perhaps the container doesn't have mknod?

I've updated the git tree to not fail when mknod is denied.  It should
just spit out an error, and presumably another one when it next tries
to bind mount the pty onto it, but that's ok.

Does git://github.com/hallyn/lxc#upstream.nov1.2012.autodev work better
now?  (I'm logging off now, so if not I probably won't know for some time)
