(got needed information by mail)
Totally bad guess:
It seems that your /dev/null is corrupted and it causes broken pipe.
Your system:
4464 open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission
denied)
Standard system:
9321 open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3
ls -al /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2007-09-21 21:12 /dev/null
Please verify your /dev/null (you should get exactly the same result except
date).
If this device entry was replaced by file, please revert it by mknod,
Before doing it, please try to trace, why and when it happened (using
--full-time switch and looking at the file contents ad remembering UID and
GID).
If you cannot remember your own mistake (e. g. cp file /dev/null), it could be
caused by any other package, which run in time of the /dev/null corruption.
To find it try to list all your executable directories (/bin, /usr/bin,
/sbin...) with ls -al --sort=time --time=access.
