Under 1.5.x if you use 'less /kern/msgbuf' to view kernel messages
everything works OK and after a few pages of ^@ null characters the
text is displayed. If you try the same thing under 1.6 or current I
find that you get the same pages of ^@ null characters and nothing
else. Doing a 'cat /kern/msgbuf|less' provides a workaround, but it
would be nice if the original behaviour could be restored. A quick test
with the 1.5.3 less under current shows the problems still exists and
points to a change in the behavior of /kern filesystem. Anyone else seen
(annoyed?) by this. Is it worth a PR?
