It should probably be applied (after testing :-) to -stable, but for -current someone should work on how this is going to work with devfs when there will be an unlimited number of ptys. Each additional statically configured pty currently costs 252 bytes for the tty struct alone, not about 128 bits as guessed in the PR. A default of 32 would still be reasonable. Bruce
