Subject:   bash2 or devfs problem?

I've noticed that bash's process substitution fails under -CURRENT.

For (an admittedly stupid, trivial) example:

diff <(cat file1) <(cat file2)

errors out with:

diff: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
diff: /dev/fd/62: No such file or directory

Apparently, the nodes for the named pipes are not being created as they should.

Is this a bash problem, or something in devfs not working as expected?
