I think some piece of code (pam_selinux maybe?) is assuming that
prepending "/dev/" to the value of the PAM_TTY item results in a path
which can be relabeled.  I think gdm sets it to ":0" on at least some
platforms, for example.

Is there a particular command or program being run when this happens, or
is it happening when you log in?
