[ltp] Run out of ptys?

[Osho GG]

Did you compile your kernel yourself? Make sure that you have the
following settings,

CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256

I had the same problem and then adding the settings for LEGACY_PTYS -
this error went away.

It is definitely not a thinkpad issue for sure :)
