What do you get from:- $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max I get 4096 on stock-ish Squeeze boxes. *If* max pty is your problem, reset by:- # nano /etc/sysctl.conf edit the value for "kernel.pty.max" Apply changes with:- # sysctl -p Note that ssh and other services also use pty - so 40 windows in screen might be determined by how many other pty instances are in use.
