[SLUG] no ptys

Whenever I run an rxvt or xterm (or presumably anything using a pty), I get
an error like

rxvt: can't open pseudo-tty
rxvt: aborting

or

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

I can run things in existing terminals, but I can't spawn new ones. How can
I fix this? The last change I made was to add a rule to udev.d so it would
recognize my Lego Mindstorms brick, but udev starts and runs fine, no errors
either in the root terminal or in the syslog.
