I reverted this part of the patch.  My test was flawed.  The problem is
that on Linux, /dev/ttyS[0-3] exists even if they are not backed by
hardware.  In this case, as is on my local machine, isatty returns 0.
However, if there's a device connected to /dev/ttySx, isatty returns 1.

So I just applied a patch which reverts the isatty status to /dev/ttySx
and thus, stty works as before.

Thanks for testing and discussing this problem.
