That was more of a long shot.  I wasn't thinking of memory.  I once did
an update of a Slackware based system (long time ago) between kernel
versions (1.2->2.0 if I recall) and only created four of the VT
devices.  Not knowing much about the system, everything was fine until I
ran X for a while.  I could run three or four xterm's, but the next one
would not start, failing silently.  It took a while to connect the two
events.  But I also learned that some X apps. use resources other than
memory.

But this isn't what you are seeing.
