>Description:

	the new code to make cd devices is broken.  if you give it bogus
	arguments it fails and gives various lossage.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV cd

	gives:

chgrp: rcd[a-h]: No such file or directory
chmod: cd[a-h]: No such file or directory
chmod: rcd[a-h]: No such file or directory


	using `cd0' instead of `cd' is a workaround.
