GNU Emacs 18.53.11 of Mon Jul 24 1989 on kodak (berkeley-unix) running
on NeXT 1.0.1

^X^W of a fresh empty buffer to /dev/null on the Next gives "IO Error
writing /dev/null".  On the HP, this works.

On the other hand, on the HP (18.55 on HP-UX), if I'm working on a
buffer with an existing #-backup, I get "Renaming: permission denied,
/users/macrakis/#%*scratch*#, /dev/#null#".
