I found a way to recreate /dev/null (besides rebooting)

sudo mknod /dev/null c 1 3
chmod a+rw /dev/null

Anyway,
I cleaned out my object directory and the install directory and bootstrapped
from scratch and installation worked.  It seems that doing a CVS update fails
after a while and leaves something corrupted.
