	On a box running

 FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #2: Wed Nov 19 06:02:02 EST 2008 i386 

	I am seeing a steady (though not particularly rapid) stream of:

comsat[3597]: '/' in "/dev/pts/X"

	for X = [1-5].
	There is no mention of this in UPDATING, or (as far as I can
tell) in the lists.  Google produces hits for NetBSD and Linux, but
none with either a) a real explanation or b) a real (as opposed to
half-ass) fix.
	Doesn't /seem/ to be hurting anything ... but this is a test
box for a reason.
	Anyone (please!) have the clue(s) I'm missing?
