 It look like the build system deletes /dev/null file from the system on
 OSX Lion 10.7.3. System is crippled after running sudo port install git-
 core for example (which fails anyway because of that I think).

 I try to install git-core on my system after upgrading to 10.7.3. It fails
 with the following message:
 {{{
 danielk-macbook:~ danielk$ sudo port install git-core
 Password:
 --->  Computing dependencies for git-core
 --->  Staging git-core into destroot
 Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: shell command failed (see
 log for details)
 Log for git-core is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_git-core/git-core/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
 }}}

 after that /dev/null is gone missing and OS starts to behave weird.
 Rebooting helps but it also behave weird: machine boot reboot itself and
 only then the os startups ok. What's going on?
