System: NetBSD caolila 1.6B NetBSD 1.6B (CAOLILA) #0: Tue Jul 2 19:51:05 JST 2002 root@caolila:/net/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/CAOLILA i386

>Description:
Currently, kterm is compiled to use pty_search().  pty_search() scans
/dev/ by its own matching rule.  The pty_search()'s rule covers just a
small part of the NetBSD's ptys.  If the all ptys covered by
pty_search() are already in use, pty_search() misunderstands there is
no available ptys.

>How-To-Repeat:
start X
open many kterms
finally you can see the message "kterm: no available ptys"
though ptys are availabe.

>Fix:
add this patches
