I found this one one of the servers and the problem was that /dev/null was a file instead of a device.

/dev/null should look like:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Nov 1 07:57 /dev/null

if it is:
-rw-rw-rw- then it is a file not a device.

remove the file and create a new device with the following

mknod /dev/null c 1 3

After you create the new device you should have no more issues with this 451 error.
