:device with major number 0. Fixed that and all is well.

Cool. If you recall how the device managed to get mis-created
we might be able to add some protection against future occurances.
I've seen devices wind up with the wrong permissions or ownership,
usually due to a crash occuring soon after a MAKEDEV and the filesystem
not fully synced, but not with the wrong major number.
Hmm. It might be possible if /dev were copied and restored (e.g. to
another OS, like Linux), or tared and untared, in certain circumstances.
