This is the same error that made me reboot the server last night.
I've also seen it on my desktop (once) and the lukeshu.com server (once).
What happens is /dev/null becomes a regular file (not a character
device) that has mode 0600, owned by root.
This time, I just ran
sudo rm /dev/null && sudo mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3
to fix it. I don't believe there are any other affected files in
/dev/.
We really should try to figure out what causes this.
