If I ever find time to follow through on my threat to reorganize the way device vnodes work, that will get rid of this problem :-) (and provide everyone a pony, too) (if anyone's curious, not sure I've posted about it before, the idea is to flip things so that the device logic sits on top of the fs-level special file vnode; currently it's the other way around, so the fs gets involved with all kinds of things it doesn't actually need to care about) -- David A.
