Somewhere in /usr/sys/<your_system> there's a file sl.h lying around with 
#define NSL 1
in it (if you have SLIP configured, otherwise its 0). According to the 
BSD 4.3 sources this determines the max number of SLIP 
lines. So I would assumed that it is actually compiled for only one
line.

                  ^^^ bug? It seems to be deliberate. Anyway it's probably
still around (I haven't actually tested 3.1 with more than one SLIP
connection).
