I saw this on a 1.3.59 kernel. 04:c0 is /dev/ttyp0, which seemed
just find. but it turned out that minor number for /dev/console
had somehow been set to 192 as well. this was on a machine where
the user definitely wouldn't have been fooling around with minor
numbers, so I presume some rogue system binary causes this effect.
