S8 creation of /dev/pts devices

One of my solaris 8 systems (Generic_117350-06) created additional
pts devices (65 thru 128) yesterday around 11:01 am for no reason I
can see. There was nothing in /var/adm/messages or /var/log/anything
nor was lastcomm or last particularly interesting. No software changes
have been made on this system since August, and it was last rebooted
about a month ago due to a power outage.

Does anyone know why the system might decide to create extra ptys
without a reconfigure reboot or an on-the-fly drvconfig?

Thanks,
