>Description:
FreeBSD 8 undocumentedly supported O_CLOEXEC flag for posix_openpt.
But FreeBSD 9 removed it because it is not in SuSv4.

However next SuS will add O_CLOEXEC for posix_openpt just as FreeBSD 8.2 did.

This means, FreeBSD 8.2 and future FreeBSD supports O_CLOEXEC for posix_openpt, but FreeBSD 9.0 doesn't. It is very confusing.
