Seems there is a bug in MiNT-lib.

Try this prog:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
        int fd = open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR|O_NDELAY), ch;
        read( fd,  &ch, 1 );

        return 0;
}

It should return immediately, but it waits for a key under MiNT.

I don't know if this is all that prevents vttest from running.
