I have an HP9000 (please don't laugh).  And I'm not sure what's happening
in the following -

Scenario:
	My umask is 022.
	I become super-user.
	I type in a fortran compile.
		fc mine.f
	When the compile is done, I notice that /dev/null has gone from
	permission 0666 to 0644.  This has the side-effect of preventing
	others from using the fortran or pascal compilers.

Why does the permission change?  How can I prevent it?  I called Hewlett-
Packard and they said that I should avoid this situation...
