The problem is rooted in two places. The pseudo-tty driver (/usr/kernel/drv/pts) has a built-in limit of 48. The library routines getut() and getutx() have a problem that prevents them from supporting more than 62 users. This patch provides fixes to libc and pts that support both problems. 1139830 Change the way nodes are named to allow for greater than 64 names.
