I have 2.6.7-1.503 kernel running on a Thinkpad 600E with an uptime of 4 days.

Now when I invoke xterm - I get the error:

----
xterm : Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys

----

And the machine is sluggish - can't loginto via ssh etc..

Time for a reboot and check for more updates..
