The system has no more ptys.

When changing a site password using cPanel I got the below. Note that the password did NOT change even though it says it did. What causes this & how do I fix it?

The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more.
while executing
"spawn /usr/bin/passwd"
invoked from within
"set pid [spawn /usr/bin/passwd]"
(file "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/securechpass" line 14)
Your password has been changed!

Do a search on ptys in the forum, there is answer. qiuck fix though is reboot.
