It looks like bug #24443, which depends on the content of the current stack frame. Thus small changes in input or compiler options may change the symptoms, or make the bug "go away". PR 24443 was recently fixed and committed to stable. It looks like it also fixes my -STABLE system (at least rebuilding /bin/sh with the patch makes MAKEDEV behave again).
