Throwing caution to the wind I've just overwritten my 2.1R system 
with the 2.2-960501-SNAP.

Things I note thus far:

# ls -l /dev/tty
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    1,   0  5 Jun 10:16 /dev/tty

really wants to be:

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    1,   0  5 Jun 10:16 /dev/tty

otherwise xterm cannot open it. Breaking xterm is a Bad Thing (tm).

There's another problem with xterm not being able to get a pty
that I'll have to look into.

Also, now when I try to `vipw` I get this error:
# vipw
vipw: /stand/ee: Undefined error: 0
vipw: /etc/master.passwd: unchanged

There is no /stand/ee. Obviously this was not a problem in 2.1R.
