Subject:   Limit on rxvt; "can't open pseudo teletype" (?)

rxvt (*unlike* xterm) can only open about 12 windows in X.  xterm seems about
unlimited. 

I've added CHILD_MAX=128 and OPEN_MAX=128, as well as pseudo-device pty 256 to
the kernel, and executed a MAKEDEV pty7.

I don't understand why rxvt yields the error "rxvt: can't open a
psuedo-teletype; rxvt: quitting" on the 13th window, but I can open xterms until
my carpal tunnel acts up!

Suggestions?  I need about 4x this many rxvt windows.

Regards.
