    However, I see that, if I use pts/0-7, for instance, then log off
pts/7, the next assigned pts will be pts/8. Is this expected? I tried
lowering kern.pts.max to 20. If I open 20 of them and close them
afterwards, on the next try I get "no more ptys" from my screen.

If it's there, and you can see it, it's real.
If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual.
If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent.
If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it.
