I'm seeing the same thing - /dev/null disappeared.  I also saw in my
nightly scripts that 'tee /dev/stderr' failed as well.  It seems
fairly random. X wouldn't start, complaining that /dev/vga doesn't
exist.

I did a cvsup by date/time:
 *default release=cvs date=2003.03.10.12.00.00 tag=.

That seems to put things right.  There were some kern commits
shortly after that time that caused this weirdness.  I've been really
busy at work fixing a billion bugs for c client rollout - no time for
a backtrace...

( the bugs aren't mine - I write perfect code every time :)  )
