This may occur only in our system...

If not, try to add a single line just below the line
	p = malloc(strlen(disk) + 4); /* disk + "ctl" + nul */;
in opendisk() function of /sys/src/libdisk/disk.c file.   The line is
	strcpy(p, disk);

PS.
judging from the last ';' in the "p = line", I might have done bad to this file
here.  If so, I'm sorry to have made noise.
