It is most likely failing because Mac OS X 10.5.8 does not conform to 
POSIX:  the log shows an error from stty(1) rejecting the -onlret 
option, which POSIX defines---it is /not/ a GNU extension.

That said, my copy of stty(P) suggests that onlret does not do anything 
useful here, so a patch has been pushed to the "PR71624" branch at 
Savannah.  Please try it and indicate if it solves this problem.  If so, 
I will merge it to master and consider the issue resolved.
