Is stelnetd only able to use a subset of ptys, and that those ptys
are already in use by screen? I recall an old problem with rlogind
and/or telnetd and/or login not knowing about ptys in the upper range
pty[PQRS]* . I don't know if this is still a problem, but I now
compile screen to use ptys in the order pty[PQRSpqrs]* . The upper
128 are used first, leaving the lower 128 free for other programs.
