Keven,
  Are there any VT "sessions" sitting at a login prompt but not logged in?
I don't have any proof, but I've had some strange user limit things that lead
me to wonder if a termulator running VT and sitting at the login prompt takes
up a session in the count.  (Perhaps it's not VT.  Perhaps simply hitting
return and getting a login prompt takes up a session until the prompt times
out and Minisoft, in repeatedly renewing the prompt (why they do this, I'm not
sure) is causing this behaviour to become a problem).
