 |  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?
