This implies that /dev/null isn't empty, because the "test-json"
program was able to read at least 3 bytes from it. That can easily
happen in a chroot if someone forgets to "mknod /dev/null c 1 3" and
later someone writes data to /dev/null as root. Any chance this
happened?
(I'd be more inclined to blame the upload itself except that -3 built
successfully everywhere, -4 is building successfully everywhere other
than ia64, and the only change between -3 and -4 was deleting a couple
of lines from a file not used in the unit tests.)
Thanks,
Ben.
