It's correct for the character device, because that's what I inherited from 
the original allocation in devices.txt. Not for the block devices. See 
util/MAKEDEV in my CVS tree. That tends to agree with the code, regardless 
of the state of the documentation - unless some helpful person has 'fixed' 
it to match the docs :)
