A wild guess:  are you sure that the kernel and libc are in sync?
It's possible (but unlikely) that the kernel implements chown as,
say, syscall 23, while libc was compiled with kernel headers that
put it at syscall 45.

File type signifier (-F option to ls):

$ ls -l /dev/log
srw-rw-rw-   1 root     root            0 Mar  5 04:02 /dev/log
$ ls -lF /dev/log
srw-rw-rw-   1 root     root            0 Mar  5 04:02 /dev/log=

Later,
Kenn
