You probably just ran out of device nodes, the default (62) is a bit small for some uses (often exhibited as not being able to open new xterms), but you can create more like this: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV pty1 If you need even more, you can do pty2,...pty15, you get 62 for each number (0 is /dev/ptyp[0-9a-zA-Z], 1 is ptyq*, etc).
