Public bug reported:
I'm running vmbuilder on the latest EC2 Karmic AMI. When I Ctrl-C
interrupt the run, it deletes almost all of the devices in /dev making
the system somewhat unusable.
Here's a log demonstrating this. I have reproduced the problem on a
fresh AMI by interrupting it in about the same place. Before vmbuilder
was run, there were the usual hundreds of entries in /dev
[...vmbuilder running...]

I verified that /dev was full right before I pushed Ctrl-C and that it
was cleared out right after vmbuilder exited on the interrupt.
Let me know if you are unable to reproduce this problem or need further
information.
