There is a bug in the ftype() function in bs(1).  Ftype() is supposed to
return a character indicating the file type of the file named in the
first argument.  Ftype() returns a "d" for block-special files, when it
is supposed to return a "b"; "d" indicates a directory.  This has been
tested (and failed) on V.2 on 286 (MicroPort), NCR Tower (Unisys
5000/50), and the Tahoe System V environment (i.e. Unisys 7000/40).

If this has been noted before, I apologize for the redundancy.
