and add '/dev/env' too. Turns out I already had an 'env' directory from my 
previous experiment so of course the directory existed.

I would suggest modifying 'mkdir.c' check the result of _put_path for 
'/dev' and '/dev/env' and set errno to EEXIST (and return -1) for these 
two cases. This would in turn require a small change to _put_path2 to  
prevent '/dev/env' from turning into 'env' like it currently does.
