I think it's a bug in the client failing to handle the pty allocation
failure.  I looked at this once before but at the time the code made if
very difficult to associate the failure message with the pty request. 
We've improved it since then so it might be time to take another look.

You can't just disconnect.  A single sshd can have multiple sessions
and thus multiple ptys, so the failure to allocate one should not cause
the connection to terminate.
