What does this query return?
SELECT * FROM {menu_router} WHERE path LIKE 'boost_stats.php'

are you in a subdomain or subdirectory?

Apache with PHP 5.3.1, Also, is the value title=NULL&q=NULL in query string normal ?

q=NULL doesn't seem correct. it should be qq; its that for ajax, not that for the image.

committed it; let me know if you get q= again after your cache is clear of the old way.

This fix seems to be working, "NULL " page not found errors are no more my top "404" error - weired but there are still two mentions of this error in the logs !
