problem with mtdblock dev entries over 9

[Aras Vaichas <arasv@magellan-technology.com>]

I'm using the 2.4.x version of the MTD cvs.

I recently created over 9 MTD partitions and I noticed that /dev/mtdblock had 
incorrect names for entries 10 and 11 instead they were ":" and ";". The 
/dev/mtd directory was OK though.

e.g

/root # ll /dev/mtdblock
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ./
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 ../
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   0 Jan  1  1970 0
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   1 Jan  1  1970 1
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   2 Jan  1  1970 2
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   3 Jan  1  1970 3
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   4 Jan  1  1970 4
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   5 Jan  1  1970 5
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   6 Jan  1  1970 6
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   7 Jan  1  1970 7
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   8 Jan  1  1970 8
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,   9 Jan  1  1970 9
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,  10 Jan  1  1970 :
brw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      31,  11 Jan  1  1970 ;

solution (assuming number of partitions does not exceed 99!):
