/dev/null permission issues

Hello,

I know I've sent in once before regarding, but no one has seemed to know
how to fix this issue.  It seems when I install boxes with 4.8-rel cd the
/dev/null changes permission every minute to non-writable by any user,
breaking a lot of scripts piping output to /dev/null.  Anytime I try chmod
666 it, within the next clock minute, it's back to 644.

I've tried rebuilding the device completely, cvsup'ing to a newer version
(4.9-pre), nothing seems to fix it and it only seemed to happen on
machines that I originally installed with 4.8-rel.  If anyone has some
insight on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated as I am pulling
hair trying to figure out this problem.

Sincerely,
