In the kernel file /sys/`arch`/`systemname`/pty.h, change the definition
of NPTY to what you really want it to be. If it looks ok, make sure you
have all the pty devices created, but it sounds loke you have probably done
that. I would be interested in knowing what you fid out if this doesn't
fix it.
