    Some time ago I posted an article describing a problem I was having
    with the CPS (create process server) command.  The problem was that 
    I could invoke a server on some nodes but not on other, apparently
    identical, nodes.  The processes would work correctly in a window, but
    not in background.  The problem was that /dev/null had been corrupted
    on some nodes.  The server could not redirect its output to /dev/null
    and crashed.  The solution is to copy /dev/null (really, it's 
    `node_data/dev/null) from another node.

    I don't know what happenened to /dev/null but a couple of our nodes 
    had this problem.  You can test for it by trying to redirect the output
    of a shell command to /dev/null.
