Description Meyser+bugs.freebsd.org 1999-12-01 16:30:02 UTC

	Serial (dial) devices are numbered /dev/cuaa0 ... /dev/cuaa9
	for the first 9 devices. then 10th device gets /dev/cuaaa acording
	to /dev/MAKEDEV. The next gets /dev/cuaab an so on.

	If you are on /dev/cuaaa ans use "tty" to determine wich device you
	are on "tty" reports "/dev/cuaa10". I think this is a bug in "tty"
	ore to be more specific in "ttyname()". 

	I think this affects also all other serial devices 
	( cuaia? cuala? ttyd? ttyid? ttyld? )

How-To-Repeat: 
	On a system with 11 or more  serial ports type 
	"tty </dev/cuaaa" this will report "/dev/cuaa10"

Pilot error.  The device database was out of date.  Maybe MAKEDEV should 
call dev_mkdb if it is run in /dev.
