Well, the device itself might be infinite, but around 10 years ago I
remember hearing about a Unix-based application that crashed because
it was writing out too much stuff to /dev/null.

IIRC, this was more of a problem with the C stdio library that they
were using, rather than the actual device.

But strange things do happen...
