The pty problem is likely a side effect of known locking problems with
ttys and ptys in general. This probably the weakest part of the kernel
right now and I don't know of a good work-around for apps that use these
extensively. That said, there doesn't seem to be much of a problem with
casual use; I use screen(1) quite a bit on my production 6.0-RC
mailserver+firewall.
I know it doesn't trigger too often for most users, but still, for us,
once a week per server on 2 production servers we installed FreeBSD 5
and 6 on, is way too often. :-(
for information, we have the same problem on our productions servers
with FreeBSD 5 and I know that we are not alone. We hoped a lot for a
solution with FreeBSD 6 after this thread :
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-stable/2005-June/016154.html
but I have just tested with FreeBSD 6.0-RC1 and the problem is always
there :-(
