I have the Linux Devfs FAQ by Richard Gooch. In the Operational Issues
Section, subsection System Libraries, he mentions having at least Glibc
version 2.1.3 or later for a Glibc based system. In a later section called
Dealing with drivers without Devfs support, he mentions again using Glibc
2.1.3 to fix a conflict 2.1.2 has with devfs. Now I went ahead and
installed Devfs without upgrading Glibc, and it works fine.
I just misunderstood the FAQ. I'm not running the type of system that needs
the Glibc upgrade.

I'm running devfs under linux 2.2.16, and glibc-2.1.2. What was the bug?
For upgrading, read the FAQ. :P
