Hunting on the we it looks like Ron Cox is the goto person for that
(http://bitbucket.org/rsc/vx32/changesets/ dated 2009-12-27):

"To make it possible to log into 9vx using drawterm a device #� (devcap) is
needed, otherwise auth_chuid() will fail, because it cannot open #�/capuse."

"This patch adds `9/port/devcap.c' from Plan 9 to 9vx/a, with only a few
adaptions (see a/devcap.ed)."

So if I am reading this correctly, it is in a vx32 repository but not in the
9vx one.  I could be totally off base with that one, but thought the info
might be useful for tracking down.
