ftp> cd /dev
ftp> get ad0s1a
local: ad0s1a remote: ad0s1a
550 ad0s1a: not a plain file.

Given that "more" works on the device, it seems that I should be able
to retrieve the contents using ftpd.  Mirroring files this way is quite
useful.  This might be a result of using sendfile(), and might also
affect Apache for the same reason.  Not sure about that diagnosis though.

Fix: 

Patch not attached.
How-To-Repeat: 
See above.
