Each string places between 15 and 20 pounds of tension on the neck of the guitar, and so when a string breaks this tension is no longer being applied.

It may be that it slipped out of the nut or that the groove in the nut is cut in too deep (a steel E string may cut itself deeper into the nut when tuning) or that the nut has cracked and the string slipped into the crack. Or the nut is displaced and the string action too low in consequence.

So, over time normal wear-and-tear can take its toll. The slots can become misshapen and/or become dirty with grit and grime after years of use. All these factors can lead to string breakage at the nut. Just as sharp tuning posts can act like little string cutters, dirty or misshapen nut slots can break strings too.
