It could be the problem described in the linux/Documentation/Changes file
that comes with the source for the Linux kernel:
As of 2.1.115, Unix98 pty support was added as an option, and
support for the deprecated major 4 /dev/ttyp* devices was removed. If
necessary (eg, you get "out of pty" error messages when you obviously
are not out of pty's), create major 3 /dev/tty* and major 2 /dev/pty*
devices (see Documentation/devices.txt for more information).
