Hello,
on 2.6.4 I have seen that two pts device can have the same number :
$ls -l /dev/pts/
total 0
crw--w---- 1 mat tty 136, 2 2004-04-20 23:15 2562
crw--w---- 1 mat tty 136, 2 2004-04-20 23:15 2818
Is that normal ?

Your libc or ls is old. They actually have the device numbers
136,2562 and 136,2818 but you only see the bottom 8 bits:
2562 & 255 = 2
2818 & 255 = 2
This doesn't affect proper operation, it just affects the output from
ls.
