Seems to take it up to 704 ptys (now try explaining quickly how *that*

-----
if (minr < 255) {
nextdev = makedev(major(dev), minr + 1);
if (!nextdev->si_drv1) {
ptyinit(minr + 1);

I was contemplating something with a /dev/pty/* and /dev/tty/* and
a really mindless naming convention that wouldn't ever bottom out. I hadn't
even started working on it.
