Now try:

Here it takes more than two seconds :) That's because ps is trying to
access /dev/pts[0-9]+ first. That results in a attempt to insert a
module for that device.
Because I was getting tired of this i made a quick hack:
# some confusion with devfsd and devpts in 2.5. Quick hack:
for i in `seq 0 512` ; do ln -s /dev/pts/$i /dev/pts$i 2>&1 >

..in my init scripts.
Using devfs (and devfsd) and devpts.
This is "new" in 2.5.68 and 69 :)
