You mean, it should better display as:

i-w-------  1 root  wheel                      ctl
ir--r--r--  1 root  wheel                      etype
-r-x------  1 bin   bin    229376 Aug 10 00:06 file*
irw-------  1 root  wheel                      fpregs
ir--r--r--  1 root  wheel                      map
irw-r-----  1 root  kmem                       mem
i-w-------  1 root  wheel                      note
i-w-------  1 root  wheel                      notepg
irw-------  1 root  wheel                      regs
ir--r--r--  1 root  wheel                      status

instead?  (`i' == ``irregular file'') ;-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
