|  The case pattern
|  
|       tty0*|tty1*|tty[0-9])
|  
|  is one of the few that I did not modify in revision 1.141 of 
|  src/etc/MAKEDEV.tmpl.  It's been like that since revision 1.3 
|  (from 2003), and before then it was
|  
|       tty0*|tty1*)
|  
|  I also think that tty[0-9]* is what we should use here.

there are two blocks with the same pattern? How is this supposed to work?
