Under latest RELENG_5 I'm experiencing since recently (about 2-4 weeks I
think) "permission denied" errors under the Linux ABI on write-access to
e.g. /dev/null or other devices under /dev:

| $ id
| uid=10000(rse) gid=10000(rse) groups=10000(rse),5(operator),2001(en)
| $ ls -l /dev/null
| crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    2,   2 Oct 15 21:39 /dev/null
| $ echo foo >/dev/null
| $ ls -l /compat/linux/bin/dev/null
| ls: /compat/linux/bin/dev/null: No such file or directory
| $ /compat/linux/bin/bash
| bash   bash2
| $ /compat/linux/bin/bash
| $ ls -l /dev/null
| crw-rw-rw-    1 root     wheel      2,   2 Oct 15 21:40 /dev/null
| $ echo foo >/dev/null
| bash: /dev/null: Permission denied
| $

Has anybody an idea where to search? There were no changes to devfs
recently and the recent changes to the Linuxulator seemed harmless to me
at the first glance...
