I suspect that your server is running out of ptys.  Checking the server's
syslog should show errors if that's the case.

The syslog says nothing, however, we followed that lead, and it turns
out that the server is a VPS, running in OpenVZ (yeah, I didn't know
this, I'm just proxying for the admins here). And this particular host
imposes an arbitrary limit of 64 ptys per server zone. Upping that
limit solved the problem temporarily.
