The problem is not depending on a reboot.
After some time the /dev/null device is moved to /dev/null.1 and a new **file** 
is created for /dev/null.
This triggers https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/270781, if the 
screensaver locks the screen.

Some "older" processes still using the moved /dev/null.1
Some "newer" processes writing to the ordinary file /dev/null and filling up 
the limited disk space on the root partition.

The problem occures here on a amd64/jaunty desktop system and a i386/jaunty 
netbook.
Sabin Iacob  reported the same problem .
