Not enough ptys in 2.5.69-mm2

Kernel folks,

I've been having a problem with some of the recent 2.5 mm series kernels
that I was hoping someone might have an idea about. The current version
I'm testing is 2.5.69-mm2. I have also seen the same problem on 2.5.69
itself, although I'm not sure about a straight 2.5.68.

The problem comes when I try to open an xterm or gnome-terminal within X.
The process attempts to start, but then just hangs indefinitly. When
launching from the commandline, I see the following:

gboyce@cthulhu gboyce $ xterm
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys

I'm attaching an strace of xterm, and my .config file. Please let me know
if there is any other information I can provide.

Gregory Boyce
