Won't work. stat("/dev/null") gets intercepted by cygwin before checking for an actual file named "null" in /dev/, so that the stat will succeed (and with the same data) whether or not you have run create_devices.sh. Perhaps creating /dev as a managed mount, though, and populating it with "null.", would work for coreutils 5.3.0-7 (but I wouldn't bother with such a convoluted workaround, especially since 5.3.0-8 will fix it). - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
