I just stressed my system a bit and found that /dev/pts indeed only allows 255 entries. more than 230 xterms are forbidden by X it seems - at least new xterms I can't open because of "too many X clients" :)

I then opened another 40 screen sessions and those open /dev/ttyp.. when /dev/pts runs out of numbers. I'm not sure this should be supported by konsole though as running out of /dev/pts should be a pretty rare situation caused by a different bug. You should check which application holds your /dev/pts inodes open
