Hello,

I use gnu screen on cygwin.  It seems like it does not close the
terminals (ptys) cleanly upon closing and overtime this leads to an
error: ("No more PTYs").  Has anyone else experienced similar issue?
Is there a way I can manually free up ptys or increase the total number
of ptys?

Thanks in advance.

-KC
