In configuring, if an optional count is given in the specification, that number of pseudo terminal pairs are configured; the default count is 32. unfortunately, it appears this is a compile time option from what I've been able to find thus far and I continue to run into this limit almost daily. it has definitely become a pain point. would be ideal if it was at least doubled in the default kernel -- or, a runtime variable. thoughts? there have been previous threads [1] on the topic, dating back to 2002. And technically, if you are willing to dig around a little bit for the information (exercise left up to the student), it's pretty trivial to get it up to 256 without hacking any source code.
