I was thinking of making a 1.5.13 release and thought I'd fix this bug.
However, I can't duplicate it anymore. I didn't try to get rid of the
special /dev handling from the DLL but all of the device nodes have the
correct permissions after running your script and I can change them
afterwards without a problem.
Can you still duplicate this problem, Igor?
