Hi...
I'm using kernel 2.6.x, and /dev/pts/X are not reused. That is not new,
but the following it is, at least for me:

Other programs like who and w are also very confused. last has a lot of
entries with "gone - no logout" for the users that are not still there.
I don't know if it's sshd faults or libpam-something... but ssh sessions
are not deleted from u/wtmp. Feel free to reassing the bug if you know
what piece of code is the bad one.
The problem is reproducible, but think it happens when /dev/pts/X has X
bigger than some number (100? I've not tested, but with a fresh system
it seems everything is ok).
Salud,

Fixed in newer releases:
openssh (1:3.8.1p1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Use a longer buffer for tty names in utmp (closes: #247538).

A newer version of OpenSSH has just reached testing and will be in
today's mirror pulse.
