5 No. The kernel does not do this. It is either udev or some other
6 part of your init system which does this.

11 And again it is not the kernel. Obviously, it is the
12 bashcomp shell scripts which do it in some case, here.

16 It might toggle that for some reason e.g. /dev/fd0 was not visible
17 or accessible before. (Or at least not in the way how udev and
18 bashcomp expected to access it.)
