No problems with 256 of 'em here, so the limit is at least that.
I've seen somewhere around 170+ allocated here (logins + screen
sessions) on a busy night with only one of the servers accepting
logins. I'm not sure what is involved getting more than 256 tty
pairs, since tty[pqrsPQRS][0-9a-v] only gives you 256 devices.
