Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/download . Thanks again and we appreciate

Title:
  Pseudo-terminals are not closed properly

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  It seems that after a long day of working, while always keeping at
  least one terminal open, I end up getting TTYs with names like
  /dev/pts/84. It seems gnome-terminal leaves some dangling file
  descriptors. This is probably due to the fact that gnome-terminal
  leaves a file descriptor to the TTY device itself; something it should
  not do at all. This causes gnome-terminal to miss the EOF on the ptmx,
  which is probably the reason why it isn't garbage collected.

  This can easily be reproduced on 10.10, by opening and closing a lot
  of windows, while leaving at least one window open to prevent gnome-
  terminal from shutting down completely. This bug doesn't seem present
  on 10.04.

  I've attached the output of lsof.
