Yeah, it's me again.. ;)

I'm constantly running out of pty's (virtual terminal lines).

I recompiled the kernel with pty set to 48 (and according to binpatch,
the number really is 48).  I created the device nodes pty[qrs]* and
tty[qrs]* using MAKEDEV.  I rebooted.  Still, only the first 16 pty's
are used by the system.  When they run out, screen etc. refuses to work.

What am I doing wrong?
