autoconf error with /dev/ptmx

I've got a strange problem compiling stunnel-3.15
configure calls the following checks:
AC_CHECK_FILE("/dev/ptmx", AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_DEV_PTMX))
AC_CHECK_FILE("/dev/ptc", AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_DEV_PTS_AND_PTC))
The first check succeeds(!) and the second fails.
ls -al /dev gives:
total 0
srwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 15 Jun 19 2000 log
crw-rw-rw- 1 Everyone Everyone 19, 0 Jul 20 2001 null
To fix this all I have to do is delete the HAVE_DEV_PTMX define in Makefile
but I would like to know what is going on.
Thanks for any ideas
John Jarvie
