           Summary: konsole fails to open terminal when tty number greater
                    thatn 256
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde pirispons net


Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

output of tty command is in the form

/dev/pts/N

When N is greater than 256 you can no longer use konsole (you open it but get no command prompt).

The only way to continue using konsole is to reboot the system.

Every time you open a konsole (or a xterm or the like) a new number is created.

I know 256 is a not too low value; but for a laptop where you usually do not reboot the system (you put it to sleep) that limit is reached in a couple of days of "normal operation".
