:Hm. After updating world/kernel just now I can't reproduce the problem
:any more. Just before rebooting I did 'make upgrade' four times and
:got incorrect perms on /dev/null each time. Maybe the problem has
:been fixed already.
I haven't done anything. Well, keep messing around with it and report
if the problem reoccurs. I suspect the bug is still there somewhere.
