>Description:
The /dev/MAKEDEV script (revision 1.243.2.36) seems to contain an
error in the part that creates the i4bteld* nodes. Not that I ever
use those, but with a "MAKEDEV all" at the end of a mergemaster
session, the problem is bound to surface. This leads to errors like:

dim@tensor:/dev$ sudo ./MAKEDEV all
Password:
MAKEDEV: arith: syntax error: "à…†È…à…é…ë…î…†"

bad node: mknod i4bteld1

I've also seen this problem reported many times on -stable.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /dev
sudo /bin/sh /dev/MAKEDEV all
>Fix:
I can't figure out what's precisely wrong with the MAKEDEV script, no
matter how long I stare at it. Maybe it'll come to me later. I
suspect a bug in /bin/sh or something...

However, a fix seems quite easy. Just split the i4btel line in 2
parts, and the problem goes away, at least on my box. I'm not sure
why, though. If I figure it out, I'll file another PR.
