English is my native language, but that might not help. :)
I would say "the device has not been opened", but "it is not open". More
generally, to me "opened" denotes past tense, and "open" is used in the present.
Even with the other bug, the message never triggered as I did not have debugging
enabled. Given the relative rarity of PPC-based boxes running Linux, the message
may never print.
Thanks for the comment.
