Weird thing. I updated my system today (October 31), and now I can't
list routes from syscons. But I still can list routes from Konsole, on
X. Following a suggestion by Genesys, I checked permissions of /dev/mem
and netstat and... for some reason, I can't stat /dev/mem under syscons!
Here are a couple of typescripts I got:

dcs at dcs:/opt/home/dcs$ ls -l /dev/mem
crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Oct 31 15:54 /dev/mem
dcs at dcs:/opt/home/dcs$ ls -l /usr/bin/netstat

I'm CCing phk on the grounds of Mr Devfs, and Sam as I blamed the
networking code earlier... :-)
