I'm indeed using uClibc (0.9.20). /dev/null is created with "mknod 
null c 1 3" and "chmod 666 null". I wasn't complete in my previous 
mail, because I didn't suspect a problem in uClibc.
To be complete: It was working in uClibc-0.9.15 with busybox-0.60.5 
and I get this error with uClibc-0.9.20 and busybox-1.0.0-pre1
