Title:
  Pseudo-terminals are not closed properly

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

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.
