This is only a guess, but maybe you are out of PTY's. This can happen 
over time when some process opens but doesn't close a PTY, or in other 
situations where you simply have more PTY's open than your OS supports.

You'll probably do better taking this to a FreeBSD forum. If you want  
to take the easy way out and get it working without fixing the problem, 
reboot. :)
