That explains the faulty permissions; since no filesystem was mounted
on the (empty) directory /dev/shm it had the default 755 root.root.
The fstab entry is perfectly fine.

You (or the debian testing release) seem to have screwed up some
/etc files somewhat. As said, Mandrake has the mounting of devpts
in rc.sysinit, but I guess you could add that to fstab as well.
