Perhaps someone gave "/dev/null" as an output file for some logging
function, and the program the rolls the log file didn't check for the
special case.
It might work to look for /dev/null in all the config files under, say,
/etc/ and see if anything turns up:
# find /etc/ -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 grep -e /dev/null \
| grep -v -e '[<>] */dev/null' \
| less
