Not a kernel issue. Your ttyC10 - ttyC15 are not "legal" tty names in Linux.
Actually, it's an application issue. Modern /usr/include/utmp.h files already leave enough space for four character ut_id fields, and "ttyC10" only requires a three character ut_id field (i.e., "C10")
The problem is that there are some old programs which still assume that a two character ut_id field. Fortunately, this is fixable with source code, quick edit, and a fast recompile.... In the future, hopefully new distributions will be lift this restriction soon.
