This is a report for busybox in RHEL 5.7 installer. As I think the issue is
more related to busybox than RHELs installer, I'm reporting it here.


Sorry I don't have access to newer version of busybox, to check does the issue
exist in newer versions.


If you look at below commands, you will see that my testing /dev/null2 file
gets removed. This issue doesn't' happen with full version of wget from gnu.org


-sh-3.2# wget --help
BusyBox v1.2.0 (2011.07.22-08:19+0000) multi-call binary

-sh-3.2# ls -l /dev/null2
ls: /dev/null2: No such file or directory

-sh-3.2# mknod -m 0666 /dev/null2 c 1 3
-sh-3.2# ls -l /dev/null2
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     0          1,   3 Dec 14 14:32 /dev/null2

-sh-3.2# wget -O /dev/null2 http://kck01dub/test
