Solaris 9 error - "Unable to allocate a master pty."

Solaris 9 12/03 s9s_u5wos_08b SPARC

When adding or reseting serial printers in on Solaris 9 system, we use the following command (as an example):

/usr/opt/annex/rtelnet -broaP 10.15.4.10 7002 /dev/bm015

This seems to work fine most of the time, but occasionally an error such as the following will appear:

ERR :10512:20041027204139: Unable to allocate a master pty.

When
this error occurs, the only way around it is to do a reboot; which is
not very convenient. Is there a way around it outside of having to
reboot the system?

Thanks,
Shannon Adams
