[Bro] Log rotation and /dev/null with broctl

[Matthias Vallentin]

I receive some unexplainable errors using broctl:

19 Oct 04:42:55 [output] /usr/local/share/broctl/scripts/archive-log: line 49: /home2/bro-logs/2010-10-16//dev/null.07:52:18-00:00:00.gz: No such file or directory

My broctl.cfg is pretty standard, with the only big difference being the change
of the log directory:

   LogDir = /home2/bro-logs

This is also weird:

    % file /dev/null
    /dev/null: ASCII text
    % more /dev/null
    title

It almost seems that broctl overwrote /dev/null. Does that make any
sense?
