When I run
sh MAKEDEV all
using MAKEDEV from Sept 14/15, but sh from Sept 1, I get the following
message:
MAKEDEV: arith: syntax error:
"^H\xe0\x85^N^H^\\x86^N^H\xc8\x85^N^H\xe0\x85^N^H\
xe9\x85^N^H\xeb\x85^N^H\xee\x85^N^H^\\x86^N^H"
bad node: mknod i4bteld1
This seems like a strange error - if I make some randomish changes to
MAKEDEV I get some rather different responses - for example:
diff -u MAKEDEV-orig MAKEDEV

I am totally mystified - is it a bug in sh or something?
