[devfs users]: evaluate a patch please

Hi,

there is a bug in the mc package, that most likely is related to
devfs. I can't reproduce it, nor does it seem to be common.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=57557&repeatmerged=yes

mc hangs occasionally on starup on the VC.

There is a patch on the buttom of the report.

Could you tell me, if it is formally OK and if it fixes the problem
for you, if you can reproduce the bug?

Thanks,
        Martin
