Re: Should MAKEDEV be able to create /dev/filemon ?

[bch <brad.harder%gmail.com@localhost>]

I filed a bug for this some time ago (ref:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=49894) that
can now be closed.

Additionally I've got an outstanding bug w/ filemon whereby actually
using filemon renders env(1) (ref:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=50309)
unusable -- am I the only person experiencing this ? If I am, then
there are two issues

  1) I need to adjust my code
  2) filemon is too brittle, regardless of my code
