running "who" tells me that I am logged into about 200 pts, however I only have about 5 terminals open. I use gnome-terminal and a lot of times just close it instead of exiting. could that make this happen and how could I reclaim my pts?

Dupe of https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=160388&highlight=xterm+users. Skrot talks about gnome-terminal in particular in this post there.
